The Challenge

• A leading public hospital in Ireland faced significant air quality concerns due to major construction works taking place adjacent to the facility.
• Dust and airborne particles posed a serious risk to vulnerable patients, particularly those in oncology and transplant wards, where Aspergillus exposure can be life-threatening.
• Aspergillus is a type of fungus that can cause serious infections, particularly in healthcare settings. It poses a significant risk to immunocompromised patients, such as those undergoing chemotherapy, organ transplants, or with weakened immune systems.
• The hospital required a temporary air cleaning solution that could be deployed urgently, operate 24/7, and meet strict healthcare standards.
• Cross Hire Services was contacted to deliver a managed HEPA filtration rental package with minimal disruption to hospital operations.

The Solution

Cross Hire Services supplied a tailored HEPA Filtration Hire Package for the hospital, designed specifically for healthcare environments. This included:

• 80 high-capacity HEPA 14 air purifiers delivered on long-term hire to maintain clean air throughout critical healthcare areas.
• Provided fresh filtered air in sensitive patient care zones with minimal disruption to daily hospital operations.
• Completed a low-impact installation under strict hospital safety protocols.
• Offered a turnkey solution with filters and ducting included and full service support for the duration of the hire.
• A tailored engineered solution designed for 24/7 protection and compliance with healthcare standards.

Our experienced team managed the entire process from site assessment to installation and ongoing monitoring, ensuring air quality remained consistently within safe limits. This approach meant commissioning could run smoothly, restoring clean air to the hospital environment as quickly as possible.
