Modular Design Offers Critical Benefits For Your Healthcare Project
The procedures and treatments your medical team provides lead to healing. To achieve this, your healthcare facility relies on infection mitigation solutions, including safe indoor air quality, to protect patients and medical staff.
However, indoor air quality solutions are not made equally. Although these solutions can provide excellent air filtration, this isn’t your only concern. The solutions your facility requires also must be delivered fast, effectively installed, quality-checked, and affordably commissioned to make their impact.
Therefore, healthcare facilities should also consider how their hospital air filtration projects are built. When examining the differences between the two major alternatives, stick-built and modular construction, one approach is far more beneficial.
What to Know About Stick-Built Traditional Construction
Stick-built products for hospital air filtration are those that are completely assembled on-site or at a designated area near the facility for ease of transfer and installation. Stick-built construction was once considered the industry standard, yet it poses challenges that a healthcare facility may not be able to afford.
These challenges include:
- An extended timeline: On-site construction tends to delay the installation process. Materials have to be shipped to the site, and engineers and builders must be present for the process, which can lead to lapses when scheduling isn’t optimal.
- Complicated logistics: Ensuring all key personnel are present for delivery, construction, and installation can be inconvenient and time-consuming.
- Costs: The presence of contractors at the facility can be prohibitively expensive, as can the shipping of individual components for the project.
- Contamination risks: Healthcare facilities that hope to reduce dust, debris, and a human footprint in certain parts of their building because of their infection prevention measures may find on-site construction difficult to manage. Although the systems and products you’ve ordered may work for hospital air filtration, such as HEPA filters, the installation process of these items may have the opposite effect on your building’s air quality.
Modular Prefabricated Construction
AJ Manufacturing prefers a smarter approach to building and installing air filtration products for today’s healthcare facilities. Modular construction, also known as prefabricated construction, is the process of building systems off-site and shipping them in large sections that are ready for immediate installation.
Healthcare facilities see several advantages in this method of engineering and installing hospital air filtration products:
- Precision engineering: Components built at the manufacturer’s facility get the highest level of care, testing, and validation before they’re sent to the job site.
- Fast installation: Ready-to-install components make it easy to get indoor air quality solutions up and running fast.
- A sterile approach: When construction debris and the presence of contractors is limited, your facility also limits the introduction of infectious particles.
The Advantages Of Working With a Manufacturer That Provides Modular Construction
Manufacturers that specialize in modular solutions for hospital air filtration products understand the general and industry-specific needs of their customers.
A manufacturer committed to modular construction and installation likely operates by values that benefit your facility. Teams that trust a modular approach understand:
- The importance of savings: Modular manufacturers want to save you money on your project.
- The dangers of healthcare-acquired infection: They understand that contamination risks are serious for your environment.
- The value of efficiency: These manufacturers don’t want to overcomplicate the installation process with a protracted timeline or a complicated on-site construction process.
Knowing that your manufacturer recognizes your challenges and seeks to avoid them speaks volumes about their commitment to ensuring you have quality solutions for hospital air filtration, including HEPA filters, fan filter units, ceiling diffusers, ceiling grids, and more.
