The State of Maryland is using a modular solution to address the pressing need for additional intensive care units in areas hardest hit by COVID-19. On May 26, Adventist HealthCare Fort Washington Medical Center opened a new 7,000-sq-ft, 16-unit critical care facility, built from modular units designed by HGA and preassembled by The Boldt Co. at its Appleton, Wis., facility.

举办了另一种类似的HGA / Boldt模块化设施,为马里兰州王子乔治王子医院中心的Cheverly队的巨大。两家医院都位于乔治省王子县,该县最多是任何县的确认的Covid-19案件。

被称为战略性,临时,敏锐适应的治疗模块化单位的捷径MOD,该系统旨在提供医院质量的临床护理,用ICU级感染控制和患者隔离。

“马里兰州为华盛顿堡的医疗中心是该国的第一个接受这个ICU的护理单位的医院,”Gov.Larry Hogan(R)在一份声明中表示。“这个新建设的单位是增加医院照顾乔治郡乌克王子县患有Covid-19的患者的医院能力的另一个例子。”

The Maryland Dept. of General Services placed its order for the modules on April 8 and the first units were shipped from Boldt’s Wisconsin facility on April 22, according to Boldt. Once the final units arrived in early May, Boldt staff, working with 10 local subcontractors, created the 16-room critical care center from 12 preassembled modules. Crews also installed foundations and related infrastructure.

需要起重机来放置模块,每个模块每次重约25,000磅。一旦到位,公用事业,医疗气体供应挂钩,电气,建筑坡道和屋顶都已完成。船员能够在大约两周内携带完整的关键护理中心,毗邻现有医院。

虽然它们可以用作临时解决方案,但Boldt估计其Staat Mods具有10年的使用寿命。
