NHS project

Postby MY63 » 10 Apr 2020, 06:47

I am involved in a project to make scrubs and gowns for my local NHS we have multiple locations one of them needs a cutting / layout table the dimensions are 2m x 6m x 890mm.
A simple strong design is required tube clamps appear to be the easiest way to construct a strong base with an water resistant MDF top. Dry joints so if a panel gets damaged it can be replaced easily. It needs to go on a mez floor so weight could be an issue. Modular also.
The top needs to be flat and smooth no fixings through the upper surface.
If I have missed anything please shout.

I have been asked for a drawing for the table, I am busy organising production and other stuff I will share when I feel able to.
If anyone has the time to draw this for me I would really appreciate it.

Stay safe everyone.

Hi Michael,

Has key clamp (or Kee Klamp) construction been considered? The components can go to site to be fitted. They can be dismantled and removed after use. They can be made into modules and just repeated.

This image is by way of an idea of how they go together. A box frame construction would be better and the MRMDF resting or clipped onto the top of the box frame. I'm afraid I couldn't find an image of that.

That’s a good idea Malcolm. Where I worked many years ago we had very large tables made from square steel tube with plastic connectors. Tops were melamine faced chipboard. They were still in use over twenty years later. Easily assembled and taken apart with a soft face hammer.
