Key Information
Location: Peru
Year: 2015
Project: Healthcare Facility, 1,683 m2
Scope: Conceptual Design
Hospitalization and Surgery Modules: The hospitalization and surgery units are crafted modularly, using prefabricated thermo-acoustic panels with foam insulation made from injected polyurethane resin. This design slows fire spread and ensures durability in extreme weather conditions. Supported by a fully bolted, galvanized steel structure, these modules offer enhanced seismic resilience. This adaptable construction suits a variety of projects and environments and is tailored to specific designs. Thanks to the precise dimensions and characteristics of the materials, assembly is quick and efficient—estimated at under five months for this project—and ensures functionality for each specific use. Each unit’s architectural design meets rigorous standards and requirements for hospital services.
Entrance Gallery and Play Area: The entrance gallery features a lightweight, prefabricated roof of thermo-acoustic panels with polyurethane insulation, matching the high-quality construction of the hospitalization and surgery modules. Mounted on a metal frame, it is also prefabricated for easy assembly. The design includes natural light and ventilation during the day, with amenities such as sanitary facilities for the public, an information area, and a waiting room play area.
Ambulance Entrance and Exit Gallery: Designed with the same construction standards as the entrance hall, this gallery also includes a mezzanine for housing air conditioning equipment, serving the unit efficiently.
Services Module: The services module houses essential utilities, including an electrical transformer, emergency power plant, pump room, and water treatment plant. It also contains oxygen and medical air manifolds, all constructed with the same robust materials as the hospitalization and surgery modules.
Sustainability Initiatives: The entrance hall roof will be fitted with solar panels, providing clean energy for the entire project. Interior materials are sourced locally, with furniture in leisure and waiting areas crafted from recycled metals and wood. Additionally, sewage and soapy water will undergo treatment for reuse in green spaces, further enhancing the project’s environmental footprint.
