Off-Site Engineering Solutions
Introduction
Undertaking the
construction of a new medical facility, or a major renovation of an existing one
whether private or government owned, is always associated with a significant financial
investment. In addition, of course, a project of such scale requires detailed
planning and coordination of a large number of subcontractors.
It is imperative therefore
that such a project is managed as to minimize costs and the time to completion.
Should the project involve major renovations, the planning is typically further
complicated by the need to temporarily shut down or relocate existing medical
services during the course of renovation works. Minimizing disruptions for both
staff and patients becomes a major concern.

Alternative Solution To Hospital Construction
The traditional approach to
constructing a small hospital or a permanent hospital extension is of course to
erect a concrete building. This is almost always a major project that takes a
long duration, involving many subcontractors. It is also very costly.
By taking a container or
cabin approach, its not only possible to reduce overall costs but the lead time
can be dramatically reduced as well. The off site engineering modules from
Johnson Medical can be built to accommodate any basic hospital services, from
A&E, ICU to OT. Several units can be linked together to form an entire
department.
