A Fife business has helped to create the temporary Covid-19 hospital in Glasgow.
Ductform HFE manufactured and installed HVAC ductwork at NHS Louisa Jordan.
The £43 million field hospital was built at the SEC Centre in Glasgow in just 18 days and is ready to take coronavirus patients.
A 20-strong team from Glenrothes-based Ductform HFE altered existing ductwork systems in the SEC and added another 12 for the critical care areas of the hospital.
The firm said short turnaround times and design alterations demanded agility, swiftness and sheer diligence from the workforce.
Stacey McKinlay, managing director, said: “This has been a challenging project, in part due to the circumstances and timescale required.
“However, our workforce has been fantastic, recognising the importance of this project and its vital role in fighting COVID-19.
“They have shown an immeasurable level of support, teamwork and effort in pulling out all the stops, to ensure this project is prioritised and completed on time.”
Ductform has furloughed much of its staff but is still performing essential works for clients, business development and preparations for post-lockdown demand.
The hospital is named after Louisa Jordan who was a district nurse in Buckhaven at the outbreak of the First World War.
