Scope:

Phase 1 of the LDC MHSU Central Hub Mental Health Services Unit

The project seeks to retrofit the lower level of the Lansdowne Centre to accommodate rooms for treatment, intensive case management, administration, an area dedicated to improving life skills, and much more. Once complete these upgrades will better equip the services and workers in the downtown Kamloops area.

Fun Fact:

Under CSA Z32 – Electrical Safety and Essential Electrical Systems in Health Care Facilities, grounding integrity, bonding continuity, and equipotential planes play a vital role in reducing electrical shock hazards for patients who may be connected to multiple pieces of medical equipment.

Proper installation, verification, and testing of these systems help ensure that:

• Fault currents are safely cleared
• Voltage differences between conductive surfaces are minimized
• Sensitive medical equipment operates reliably
• Patient and clinical staff safety is maintained
