University Of Illinois Chicago Hybrid Operating Suite

With so many advancements in medicine, large hospitals are adding Radiology Imaging into the permanent structure an operating suite. This suite was extended from the end of the operating department and required a dedicated operating suite level air handling unit. In order to avoid wasting any space, it was built into the space above the control room. All new medical gases were connected into the old system including a SmartTap process to avoid a shutdown of the whole system. Union pipe-fitters complete a special training to use the equipment. Structural Steel is welded and uni strut connected as required. New equipment booms and surgical light were strategically attached in exact places to avoid collision. The walls were sealed with a Corian product from floor to ceiling, a rubber floor and a laminar flow ceiling to ensure a sterile field for the patient. Lead windows, doors and drywall are used to protect staff from exposure to radiation during the procedure. A light above the door informs people outside the room that the X-Ray tube is on during imaging. Hybrid Operating Rooms are currently the highest dollar per sq ft construction projects in any hospital. Wouldn’t you rather hire someone with experience rather than your lowest bidder who needs on the job training?

Turnkey Construction

IQ Contracting works with many equipment vendors across the Midwest as a preferred Turnkey contractor. This relationship creates strategic advantages. Planning and Construction timelines are significantly shorter. Familiarity with equipment requirements eliminates technical surprises and unnecessary delays, saving time and money. Without major scope and changes, Change Orders don’t happen.  Financing of Construction is done together with Medical Equipment, eliminating budgetary delays, and adding a layer of protection. Interdepartmental coordination is always a facility challenge, but with Turnkey, the layers of management ensure that the end-user and patient needs to drive the project design, while the mechanical requirements are not ignored. Turnkey is especially popular in government facilities, but private clinics can also benefit.
IQ Contracting has completed turnkey projects over the years in multiple Cook County Health departments including Cardiac and Interventional Catheterization Labs, Radiology, MRI, Pathology Lab, Nuclear Medicine, and Urology. We routinely do minor modifications that would take weeks or months to coordinate in a matter of days or weeks. Minimizing downtime on MRI or X-Ray throughput often pays for construction, not to mention scheduling headaches. If you are considering a purchase from any of the suppliers we have listed, ask your local salesman for a turnkey option before you pull the trigger.
