C&H Electric’s Critical Maintenance Team collaborated with Bristol Hospital to perform predictive electrical maintenance over several days. This critical project focused on ensuring uninterrupted power for the hospital’s ICU and other vital areas, aligning with rigorous safety and compliance standards.

The Challenges

  1. High-Stakes Environment: Power interruptions could impact critical systems supporting patient care.
  2. Thorough Assessment: Comprehensive inspections were needed for both main and secondary switchgear, including distribution systems.
  3. Proactive Maintenance: Identifying potential issues before failures occurred was paramount for uptime and reliability.

The Solutions

C&H Electric deployed advanced diagnostic techniques to complete the project with precision:

  • Ultrasonic Inspection: Utilized to detect potential electrical faults, ensuring early identification of issues in the switchgear.
  • Infrared Thermography: Conducted to identify hotspots and anomalies in the hospital’s electrical service and distribution systems.
  • Comprehensive System Analysis: Assessed the main service and secondary electrical room switchgear, ensuring critical areas received uninterrupted power.

The Results

  • Enhanced Reliability: Predictive maintenance provided proactive solutions to avoid future failures.
  • Operational Uptime: Ensured uninterrupted electrical service for the ICU and other critical departments.
  • Safety and Compliance: Bristol Hospital’s systems met the strict safety standards required for healthcare facilities.

C&H Electric’s commitment to precision, safety, and innovation empowered Bristol Hospital to maintain reliable operations, reinforcing their role as a trusted healthcare provider.
