Fieldway has delivered fire and security alarm testing and replacement works at Countess of Chester Hospital, operated by NHS Property Services.
The live healthcare environment requires careful planning around patients, visitors and NHS staff. Fieldway phases installations on a ward-by-ward basis, using temporary cordons and clear signage to segregate work areas. High-footfall routes remain accessible, with disruptive works scheduled for quieter periods. Site teams liaise closely with Ward Managers and Charge Nurses before work begins in individual areas.
