Portable Hospital Wards & Relocatable Healthcare Buildings
Over recent years, the use of modular building construction has increased in most sectors. Hospitals & the health sector in particular has recognised their value in solving a need for urgent accommodation.
Even those in the sector who remained sceptical are now being convinced that the health services sophisticated needs can be satisfied by modular buildings, without compromising cost-efficiency, performance and speed.
Misconceptions still abound in this sector and modular buildings are often viewed as temporary. Few people are aware that they are subject to the same building regulations and planning laws as conventional buildings and yet for some projects their advantages outshine more traditional methods.
Speedy Hospital Building Solutions
Accommodation is planned and designed by MPH with the use of our computer-aided design facility and constructed in a controlled factory environment under strict quality control systems. The units are then erected quickly and efficiently on site.
Because all the frustrations of traditional on-site construction are eliminated, this approach offers an unrivalled build time from order to completion and ensures performance to meet guaranteed deadlines. For hospitals where it is of paramount importance to provide a seamless service to patients even under refurbishment and relocation, the benefits of speed are tangible.
Cost-effective Prefabricated Medical Units
Cost savings are inevitable when quality is monitored under factory conditions, site work is kept to a minimum and where there is no chance of the programme being delayed by adverse weather conditions. In short, the cost is far less than for conventional buildings which often cannot be completed in the required timescale.
Financial Freedom
MPH modular buildings offer a truly unique option. In addition to outright purchase, clients can opt for short-term hire - ideal where high quality accommodation is required urgently but the NHS Trust needs longer to consider the issue of capital. As a mid-term solution, leasing is often the preferred option where full maintenance and buy-back clauses are negotiable.
Flexibility
The in-built capacity to quickly and economically increase, reduce or adapt the configuration of modular accommodation as user requirements change, sits well within healthcare environments.
Factory enhanced buildings can enhance, not limit, architectural design and aesthetic impact. The outer skin can be clad in a choice of materials including brick or stone slip, textured stone panels or smooth, coloured panel options to provide a maintenance-free exterior. Roofs, windows and doors can also be tailored to client tastes. Internally, the accommodation is often fully fitted to a client specification in the factory.
We will also manage the installation of sophisticated service areas. Medical gases, hydraulic baths and nurse call systems can be incorporated into bed heads, while low pressure central heating, high specification air conditioning and complex electrics can be professionally and tastefully integrated.
