Construction & site work — Norwich
V-TUF supplies M-Class and H-Class dust extraction to construction sites across Norwich and Norfolk. The Anglia Square regeneration, Northern Distributor Road development corridor, UEA Earlham campus and Norwich Research Park expansion all generate sustained CDM-compliant dust extraction demand. Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Trust operates the NNUH at Colney — one of the largest acute hospitals in the East of England — with active capital works programmes requiring ICRA-compliant H-Class extraction in clinical areas.

Frequently asked questions
What extraction is required for construction inside the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital?
All construction and maintenance inside the NNUH at Colney requires an ICRA before starting. For Type C and D work in clinical areas H-Class extraction is mandatory. The MIDI H-Class with sealed filtration and HEPA-certified disposal bags is the correct specification.
Is M-Class or H-Class required on the Anglia Square development?
Both, depending on the phase. M-Class for general fit-out and drywall; H-Class wherever silica is generated. On the demolition and masonry phases of Anglia Square's mixed-use programme, H-Class should be specified in the CDM dust management plan.
