Metropolitan Hospital Corridor & ICU Upgrade
Fire-rated glazing upgrade for a 450-bed metropolitan hospital. Main corridor partitions replaced with fully insulated EI60 steel-framed systems. ICU observation panels upgraded to impact-rated EI60 with X-ray shield capability. All systems tested to FRL -/60/60 per AS1530.4:2005 with actual furnace performance of 68 minutes integrity and 68 minutes insulation (Report R15E14B, NATA-accredited). The 21mm FPOS glass specification was selected to provide both insulation for patient safety and natural light for clinical observation corridors.
