Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) has partnered with Bruntwood SciTech in a significant healthcare innovation venture. The joint collaboration between MFT and Bruntwood SciTech has resulted in the development of Citylabs 4.0, a cutting-edge £42m lab and workspace facility located within MFT's Oxford Road Campus.

Spanning 125,000 square feet, this state-of-the-art facility will serve as a hub for global medtech, genomic, and scientific organisations, driving healthcare innovation forward.

Our Role Within This Project

VIS Systems provided a comprehensive suite of security solutions to support the safe and efficient development of Citylabs 4.0.

We deployed advanced CCTV cameras, CCTV towers, and remote monitoring solutions to maintain site security and protect valuable assets. Our vibration monitoring technology was also implemented to safeguard the structural integrity of the site, ensuring minimal disruption to the surrounding area.

How We Helped Secure the Citylabs 4.0 Construction

To ensure a safe and controlled construction environment, VIS Systems implemented the following key security solutions:

  • CCTV Cameras: Continuous site surveillance to deter theft, monitor activity, and enhance on-site safety.
  • CCTV Towers: Mobile surveillance units providing a flexible, elevated security presence for extensive site coverage.
  • Remote Monitoring: 24/7 off-site monitoring to detect and respond to any security threats in real-time.
  • Security Measures: Strict access control procedures to prevent unauthorised entry and protect workers, equipment, and materials.
  • Vibration Monitoring: Advanced monitoring technology to track ground movement, ensuring construction activities did not compromise the surrounding infrastructure.

These integrated security solutions played a vital role in maintaining site safety, mitigating risks, and ensuring the seamless progression of the project.

A Secure and Successful Project VIS Systems is proud to have supported the successful construction of Citylabs 4.0, contributing to the development of a world-class healthcare innovation hub.

Our tailored security solutions helped create a safe working environment, allowing construction to progress smoothly and efficiently.

As Citylabs 4.0 prepares to welcome leading medtech and scientific organisations, VIS Systems remains committed to delivering cutting-edge security solutions that protect high-value projects and support innovation in the healthcare sector.
