Problem
The hospital needs an elevator to service only the ICU and Surgery Suites. Construction in a hospital causes dust, debris, and unsanitary contamination preventing medical operations.
Solution
Benchmark utilized its experience in designing and remodeling cleanrooms in microchip manufacturing facilities, to introduce Cleanroom Construction Protocol into the medical facility.
Results
This technology transfer allowed an expansion of the surgical floor to be constructed while surgery was performed only 20 ft away separated only by a soft-wall and air pressure. Maintaining surgical operations allowed the facility to continue to capture about $500,000 per week in surgical revenue.
