Construction & Site Work Dust Extractors — Wolverhampton
Construction & site work — Wolverhampton
V-TUF supplies M-Class and H-Class dust extraction to construction sites across Wolverhampton and the Black Country. The Westside regeneration, Wolverhampton Interchange infrastructure programme, West Midlands Metro tram extension, University of Wolverhampton City and Springfield Campus programmes, and the sustained residential growth programme across the wider Wolverhampton district all generate sustained CDM-compliant dust extraction demand. The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust operates New Cross Hospital at Wednesfield Road — one of the busiest acute hospitals in the West Midlands — with active capital works requiring ICRA-compliant H-Class extraction in clinical areas.

Frequently asked questions
What extraction is required for construction inside New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton?
All construction and maintenance inside New Cross Hospital requires an ICRA before starting. For Type C and D work in clinical areas H-Class extraction is mandatory. The MIDI H-Class (MIDIH110 / MIDIH240) with sealed filtration and HEPA-certified disposal bags is the correct specification.
Is H-Class required on the Wolverhampton Interchange programme?
H-Class is required wherever cutting, grinding or drilling of concrete, brick or masonry is taking place. On a major civils and infrastructure programme of the Interchange's scale, H-Class should be specified in the CDM dust management plan for all concrete cutting and masonry phases.
