Medical Technology costs up to of a hospital project. Its impact on the design of the hospital is paramount. Mismatches between a hospital’s design and its medical equipment systems have in so many instances been the cause of lengthy delays and costly reconstruction works.
To strike a fit between architectural design & medical equipment, maps embarks on equipment planning works as early as the programming stage.
For each architecturally-significant equipment, the type, configuration, size, operational capacity, available options and suggested manufacturers are programmed to meet the project’s requirements.
Equipment Placement Drawings illustrate the distribution and location of all items of medical equipment & furniture throughout the hospital. Electromechanical service requirements are listed and coordinated with other engineering disciplines to ensure optimal design development. Room floor areas, equipment maneuverability, and critical space dimensions are examined to test the functionality of design. Equipment Placement Drawings are produced utilizing automated planning software comprising a large database of room planning templates & tools.
Equipment Location Schedules, Room Content Schedules, Equipment Bills of Quantity Cost Estimates are cross-matched with the Equipment Placement Drawings. All changes to the drawings are reflected automatically in the reports to ensure full compatibility between all project’s documents.
