EMCOR Group, Inc. Subsidiary Brings Major State-of-the-Art Hospital to Life with Integral Mechanical, Electrical Installations

NORWALK, Conn.--(Business Wire)--EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: EME), a Fortune 500(R) leader in
mechanical and electrical construction, energy infrastructure and
facilities services for a diverse range of businesses globally,
announced that its EMCOR UK subsidiary has completed a major
mechanical and electrical services project for Royal Broadgreen
Hospital in Liverpool. The value of the contract was in excess of $44
million.

   EMCOR UK was responsible for the design and installation of all
systems for medical gases, pneumatic air tubing, heating and
ventilation, comfort cooling and air conditioning, power, lighting,
fire detection, and security/CCTV on the project. The new,
29,500-square-meter hospital consolidates the services of Royal
Liverpool and Broadgreen University hospitals and consists of a new
Diagnostic and Treatment Center incorporating departments of urology,
general surgery, orthopedics, day wards, pre-op assessments,
therapies, and eight operating theater suites, and a Cardiothoracic
Center, which includes wards for adult acute care, intensive care,
coronary care, outpatient services, and consultant offices. EMCOR UK
achieved a UK first with the design and installation of an innovative,
multi-tabled "Barn" Operating Theater with optional partitioning
walls. Barn theaters are open plan and include several operating
tables, with special air units above them, forming barriers around
each table, which are highly efficient and encourage the sharing of
best practices and expertise.

   "We are extremely proud to complete this extensive project, which
meets the strategic aims of the client by increasing hospital
capacity, permitting consolidation of patients from two sites into
new, larger facilities, bringing assets up to standard and into better
balance, and allowing for accommodation of new models of service in
the future," said Anthony Whale, President and CEO of EMCOR UK. "Our
significant history of expertise in healthcare was especially
important as the work on the project took place around a functioning
hospital which needed to remain fully operational throughout the
redevelopment."
