Crews in Wuhan, China, wrapped up construction of two modular hospitals in less than two weeks, and both facilities have begun accepting patients infected with the novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV. But as the disease continues to spread, officials are now converting a growing list of facilities into makeshift hospitals.

据当地和国营媒体报道，这家1,000张床的Huoshenshan医院开始于1月23日开始，并于2月2日完成。据当地和国营媒体报道，33,900平方米的设施开始接受2月4日的患者。1600张床利森汉医院的工作开始于1月25日，患者于2月8日入院。

这两个设施由中国国家建筑工程公司（CSCEC）的子公司中国建筑第三工程局（CECEC）建设，耗资3亿元人民币（4,300万美元）。根据CSCEC声明，通过采用“最大化使用组装工业产品并大大减少现场运营的工作量”，通过采用“最大的预制建筑技术来衡量进度”。

在Houshenshan，该地点的高度差多达10 m，需要大约150,000立方英尺的地球移动，并搬迁高压气管和其他公用事业。承包商的发言人告诉当地媒体，只有一条主要道路通往建筑工地，该建筑工地使材料，模块化单元和1000个大型设备变得困难。

接下来,承包商必须快速找到和美孚ize more than 1,000 project managers and 4,000 workers during a major holiday. When construction initially began, authorities reallocated 1,400 workers from five other construction projects in Wuhan to begin leveling the hospital site. Meanwhile, labor subcontracting companies quickly rounded up workers. For example, Fu Jianping, general manager of Hubei Hanzhang, a labor service company, took a bus around to several nearby rural areas and cities to pick up workers, according to local reports.

发言人说，仅第一张医院的采购就包括数千个模块化箱，14,000立方米的混凝土和100,000平方米的HDPE膜，根据迅速可用的产品，来自不同制造商的供应来自不同的制造商。

The types of immediately available modular units and other materials impacted the design drawings, which were continually modified to incorporate the varying specifications. The hospital design included separate medical staff channels and patient channels to prevent cross infection. An isolation ward includes a transfer cabin with a UV disinfection system to enable delivery of food and medicine. To prevent contamination of surrounding environment, crews installed anti-seepage membranes and sewage treatment plants with multiple disinfectant steps.

由于许多主要项目参与者都是国有企业，因此该团队可以绕过典型的建筑许可和合同障碍。例如，在数百个供应商和分包商中，几乎没有合同谈判。根据当地的报道，在工作场所，任务是按军事效率组织和执行的。

Fixed infrared temperature sensors in workers’ living quarters and on site keep an eye out for anyone who might be afflicted with the virus. CSCEC reports there were no safety incidents and no infections during construction.

China Construction Third Engineering Bureau is also renovating three existing multi-story outpatient facilities, with the first one delivered on Feb. 10, according to Construction Times, an independent construction publication in Shanghai. The three facilities add another 1,000 beds.

Wuhan officials have also converted several public spaces into temporary treatment centers and isolation wards for patients with mild symptoms. For example, a gym now houses 800 beds, while the Wuhan Convention and Exhibition Center holds 1,000 beds.
