Site Assessment & Planning:
- Evaluated hospital infrastructure and identified optimal placement for the ICU.
- Ensured compliance with infection control protocols and hospital safety regulations.
Design & Engineering:
- Designed an efficient layout with separate zones for patient care and medical staff.
- Installed negative pressure ventilation systems to prevent airborne contamination.
- Integrated antimicrobial surfaces and infection-resistant materials for walls and flooring.
Construction & Installation:
- Conducted necessary structural modifications for ICU functionality.
- Upgraded electrical and plumbing systems to support critical care equipment.
- Installed high-efficiency HEPA filtration systems for improved air quality.
- Integrated oxygen supply systems, patient monitoring devices, and emergency power backups.
Medical Equipment & Technology Integration:
- ICU beds, ventilators, and infusion pumps were fully installed and tested.
- Implemented real-time patient monitoring systems for continuous observation.
- Enabled telemedicine and remote patient monitoring capabilities for specialist consultations.
Testing & Compliance Certification:
- Conducted functional tests for all medical equipment and air filtration systems.
- Verified adherence to infection control measures and hospital safety protocols.
- Provided training sessions for hospital staff on ICU equipment and emergency procedures.
Commissioning & Handover:
