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 realization, with special attention devoted to the installation process of mechanical, electrical and special systems.

Read our Maurizio Amato's article about the Cefla Engineering realization, 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 bio-containment health care 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 adherence to a marginless schedule.

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