SPECIALIZED MEDICAL EQUIPMENT

Specialized medical system installations are common medical projects for AES. We have provided design work for nuclear medicine, radiology, surgery, patient care, and medical imaging equipment. These projects have been completed at numerous medical facilities, where we have retrofitted portions of structures to meet the equipment’s requirements for support and vibration resistance.

Because of the constant need for growth and change, hospitals and medical facilities are developing diagnostic and treatment departments in areas previously used for administrative purposes or occupancy rooms - areas that might be structurally unsuitable for the machinery being installed. AES diligently works with the equipment provider to understand the needs of the space for both floor-mounted and ceiling-mounted equipment, developing recommendations for placement and for structural reinforcement when necessary. Our designers recognize the importance of static deflections and vibrations for practical operations, and have been asked to develop remedies for treatment units where procedures were frequently interrupted by adverse building structure vibrations.
