Preparatory work is under way at the new hyperbaric chamber.

The facility received a large delivery of concrete, which forms the base of an enlarged plant room which will house the equipment necessary to pressurise the new hyperbaric chamber, which is being built at a base behind the fire station on Peel Road, Douglas.

The delivery was made by Easymix Concrete into the site via McDonald’s car park.

Marc Phair, the owner of Easy Mix Concrete, said: ’It was a pleasure to be able to support the hyperbaric chamber development.

’The work was well prepared and carried out to a professional standard making it easier for our new vehicle to deliver in less accessible locations.

’I have used the hyperbaric chamber myself on many occasions so I know just how essential it is to see the facility back up and running.’
