New venture offers off-the-shelf hospital design

Components can be designed in a studio, then manufactured on a large scale


A new joint venture between two Australian companies, Tahpi and KEF Holdings, is offering off-the-shelf modular healthcare facility designs, according to an article on the Gulf News website.

With the modular designs, the hospital and clinic components can be designed in a studio, then manufactured on a large scale in a facility dedicated to modular construction.

Healthcare organizations would not own the design and simply receive the "product" from a design catalog. These catalog hospitals will come with a range of options such as finishes, cladding types and branding elements.  

The catalog feature six prototypes, which can be developed into healthcare facilities ranging between 18 beds to 500.

The prefabricated components include the concrete structure, whole room pods, wall packs and staircases. The design standardization extends to the operation rooms and ICU, and the emergency, labor and X-ray rooms.
