keeping all forms continuously wet. As an alternative, curing of concrete
on all exposed surfaces which could not be kept covered, such as sides of
the beams, under side of the slabs, may also be done by sealing concrete
surface with liquid membrane-forming curing compounds white pigment
type conforming to ASTM C-309 or equal so us to arrest loss of moisture
from concrete, with the approval of the Engineer. Care shall be taken so
as to spray the compound/chemical on all the exposed faces of concrete
so that no loss of moisture takes place. The Contractor shall take special
care that curing of concrete is satisfactorily carried out and in
accordance with methods specified herein and / or as instructed b, the
Engineer. Any negligence in this regard may result in total rejection of
such concrete works, which in the opinion of the Engineer have not been
adequately cured. Period of curing for any concrete shall be 7 days or
more as directed by the Engineer. All concrete pours and concrete
structures shall be clearly marked with non-washable paints to indicate
the date of placing concrete. During hot weather, curing shall be done

N/mm2 pressure, is to be placed in the pipes until the concrete has
thoroughly set.
The concrete cover of the pipes and fittings shall be not less than I inch.
The piping and fittings shall be assembled by welding, brazing; solder
seating, or other equally satisfactory method. Screw connections shall be
prohibited. The piping shall be so fabricated and installed that it will not
require any cutting, bending, or displacement of the reinforcement from
its proper locations.
Drain pipes and other piping designed for pressure of not more than 1
psi above atmospheric pressure need not be tested.
4.19.7 Arrangement of Reinforcement
Particular attention shall be given to the spacing of reinforcement at
points so that access to the concrete surface can be provided to enable it
to be prepared to receive the following batch of concrete.
The length of lap and anchorage provided shall be in accordance with the
requirements of ACI 318-95.

SECTION – 10
NURSE CALL SYSTEM
10.0 GENERAL
Hospital design process requires some kind of Nurse Call System which
includes patient-to-staff and staff-to-staff calls when the need arises. Nurse call
system for GMC Type „A‟ is designed for patient to staff only with provision of
recording all calls in the Hospital IP system.
10.1 OPERATION
When the nurse call is initiated, it buzzes at the nearest staff base, where the
staff responsible can find out from the nurse call panel mounted on the wall,
where the call originated. Once in the correct location, they can spot the nurse
call lamp which can be installed ceiling or above door wall mounted to guide the
staff to the correct room, where they can use the reset button to reset the
buzzers and blinking lights and attend to the patients needs.
10.2 CAPABILITIES
A Nurse Call system and layout should be basic that handles patient and
emergency calls by use of a button to initiate the call, a lamp that lights to
show the staff where the call originated from and a buzzer.
At the opposite end of the scale, these systems can be extremely complicated
depending on the requirements of the client and the department it is being used
in. Many modern Nurse Call systems are not only the basic functionality, but
the capability of staff presence; cardiac call and bedside communications from
the staff base to the patient.based on LAN Work‟s networks or an I.P.
addressable system and offer
10.3 PLANNING THE SYSTEM
While designing the consideration should be given to the size of the nursing
zones and the relationship between staff bases / main corridors / reception
desks / clean and dirty utilities with regards to where the calls will originate
and where the staff may be (during the day and during night when there is low
number of staff monitoring a larger area).
![Page 205: CONSTRUCTION OF FAMILY WING HOSPITAL 250 …lcb.gov.pk/hospital/Technical Specification.pdf2018-04-196.3.2 Sand shall comply with the requirements of ASTM C-33 and BS 1199. 6.3.3 Water](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052309/5af686677f8b9a8d1c8f04b2/html5/thumbnails/205.jpg)
202
10.4 DESIGN INPUT
Following items and descriptions have been considered for the design;
10.5 PATIENT CALL
Various descriptions for this item: Patient call handset or call pull cord or call
handset or call handset with integrated light controls
Patient call description may also include;
urse Call button / Reset button with integrated patient reassurance light / Staff
emergency call. The call button must be in reach of the patient
10.6 COMMISSIONING OF THE SYSTEM
Thought should also be given to the priority of call and how it should be
presented to the staff. For example, a staff-to-staff call for Crash Call (to
resuscitate a patient with cardiac arrest) would take priority over a normal
patient-to-staff call for a glass of water or pain killers.
LED panel shall also be mounted at the Staff bases and if required, at strategic
points within the area served by each system such as Nursing Station, Staff
rest rooms and Corridors and connected to the server. All connections should
be from Cat – 6 cable in which no other service other than Nurse Call
System is connected.
A patient call should display on the appropriate indicator panels displaying the
source of the call providing audio and visual indication of an active call. Clean
and Dirty utilities should have as a bare minimum lamp buzzer units fitted so if
the staffs are working there, they can be alerted. Over door indicators generally
illuminate the source of the call outside the room and in multibed areas above
the patient bed.
The type of call generated will define the priority of a call i.e., the lowest to the
highest are defined as follows:
Low: Patient call
Medium: Bathroom / Toilet call
High: Emergency
Highest: Cardiac arrest call
Consideration should be given to the above the door indication when a call is
active and are generally overridden by extinguishing the light outside the room
![Page 206: CONSTRUCTION OF FAMILY WING HOSPITAL 250 …lcb.gov.pk/hospital/Technical Specification.pdf2018-04-196.3.2 Sand shall comply with the requirements of ASTM C-33 and BS 1199. 6.3.3 Water](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052309/5af686677f8b9a8d1c8f04b2/html5/thumbnails/206.jpg)
203
when the system receives a higher priority call returning to the previous state
when the higher priority call has been reset. In multi bed areas the lower
priority call should remain on to reassure a patient that their call has not been
cancelled.
10.7 ROUTING
10.7.1 CABLE ROUTING:
It must however be observed that the use of cabling and installation
material containing halogen is not permitted.
Cables for the nurse call system must not be routed with cables of
other systems (with hazardous voltage) in common cables, tubes or
installation channels. Circuits for safety purposes must be routed
independently of other circuits. Electrical errors or modifications to
the general power supply must not influence the operational safety of
the call system.
The cable material of the call system must be routed with a minimum
distance of 30 cm to 230 V~ cables. With shorter distances of less
than 10 m, a distance of 10 cm suffices. Cabe routing must be
explicitly documented in the system documentation by the installation
company.
With installation of the cable network of the call system, fire protection
requirements must be complied with, for example when the bus line is
routed in escape and rescue routes (hall-ways).
10.8 ROOM AND WARD CABLE ROUTING.
From the control unit of the room in a star configuration or from device to device (looping through).
The ward bus is routed from device to device; star-shaped wiring as with the room bus is not permissible.
10.9 CABLE MATERIAL
TYPE OF CABLE MATERIAL
Communication line Cat – 6 or equilent cable is used.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT CONNECT POWER SUPPLY UNITS IN PARALLED.
A new voltage line must be installed for each further power supply unit in the
system. Parallel switching of power supply units is not permissible.
![Page 207: CONSTRUCTION OF FAMILY WING HOSPITAL 250 …lcb.gov.pk/hospital/Technical Specification.pdf2018-04-196.3.2 Sand shall comply with the requirements of ASTM C-33 and BS 1199. 6.3.3 Water](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052309/5af686677f8b9a8d1c8f04b2/html5/thumbnails/207.jpg)
