Ambulance Bay Canopy Installation at Tameside Hospital

What was the project brief?

Tameside Hospital identified their need for a canopy to shelter patients and staff from adverse weather conditions such as rain or harmful UV rays during the transition from ambulance vehicles to the main hospital building. The hospital were looking for a canopy supplier capable of delivering a durable and suitable solution. With our proven track record of work with the NHS and other healthcare facilities, we were the ideal choice for the project.

What was our canopy solution?

In response to Tameside Hospital’s need for an improved ambulance bay canopy, we installed our Motiva Cantilever™ canopy measuring 32,728mm in length and 4,000mm in width. The canopy features a robust steel frame finished in an Anthracite Grey Duracoat™ and an Opal polycarbonate roof, providing both durability and aesthetic appeal.

The Motiva Cantilever™ design was selected to maximise the usable space beneath the canopy, facilitating multiple ambulances and ensuring unobstructed movement for medical staff and patients.
