We are always proud to showcase examples of the work facilitated by our strong partnerships between ourselves and customers. Our high standards of quality and supply ensure we can confidently supply OTIF, when it matters. It was our continuous commitment to these high standards that ensured SHJ, one of our valued customers, trusted us as their suppliers for the Luton & Dunstable Hospital project.

Level 5 Progress, shown in photo above.
The NHS Luton and Dunstable University Hospital underwent a new development in 2025, constructing the new Acute Services Block and New Ward Block. The £150m project included over 10,000 metres of pipework, supplying 8 new operating theatres, the Maternity Ward, the NICU, and a Critical Care floor. These new facilities will be vital in strengthening the hospital’s ability to provide high-quality care to the local community.

We are very pleased with the results of the development, and look forward to supplying more projects through our continued partnership with SHJ.
Why copper is the perfect medium for carrying medical gases:
Copper tubes are perfect for carrying oxygen and other medical gases, from plant rooms to patient beds. The surface of copper itself is antimicrobial and can effectively kill the most toxic bacteria, fungi and viruses.
All our medical-grade copper tubing is produced and supplied in accordance with the EN 13348 standard. As well as out state of the art retro-chemical degreasing plant, part of our tube cleaning process is to hand inspect and hand finish cleaning of the copper tubes. This is something we believe is unique to Lawton Tubes.
