New bio-containment unit at Santa Chiara Hospital in Pisa Cisanello

New bio-containment unit at Il Policlinico Santa Chiara, Cisanello, Pisa: Cefla Engineering handled its entire implementation, with special focus on the installation process of mechanical, electrical and special systems.

Read our Maurizio Amato's article about the Cefla Engineering project, with a General Contracting approach.

"The main challenge consisted in the construction design, due to the complexity of the technological systems and the need to ensure health care-related bio-containment performance on site. In addition, the project is the first in Italy to use the Light Steel Frame system in a hospital setting.

The three months of preparation allowed for the optimization and integration of structural, building and plant components, including off-site pre-assembly with immediate installation of some components. Close collaboration with the contracting station facilitated compliance with an extremely tight schedule.

The renovation of the sub-intensive care unit posed the typical problems resulting from working in functioning hospital buildings: integration of design and clinical engineering, reduction of interference with health care activities, subdivision into steps, maximum containment of dust, vibration and noise."
