Ensuring disruption is minimized is critical for healthcare construction projects. Contractual provisions which may be suitable for other commercial buildings may not be adequate for a healthcare facility, according to the Lexology website.
Healthcare projects come with an increased risk of infection and an increased requirement for dust and airborne materials control.
This may be dealt with by including air tight barriers between occupied and construction spaces and air handling design based on a staged construction sequence, with clearly separate zoning.
Air sampling and surveillance may be required to access and monitor the environment allowing appropriate controls to ensure safe clinical areas are maintained.
