Project Background
The Stamford Hospital required a renovation of existing medical space to accommodate the installation of a new Gamma Camera (General Electric Healthineers NM/CT 850) for advanced medical imaging. This project involved constructing a new medical imaging control room, upgrading lighting systems, and ensuring all electrical installations met stringent healthcare safety standards.
C&H Electric collaborated with Bismark Construction to deliver specialized electrical solutions, supporting the hospital’s mission to enhance diagnostic imaging capabilities.
The Challenges
- Working in an active healthcare environment required adherence to strict ICRA (Infection Control Risk Assessment) standards for containment and infection control.
- Installation in a sensitive medical setting demanded precision to integrate high-powered medical imaging equipment.
- Lighting integration needed to support both clinical functionality and aesthetics, including a ceiling-mounted illuminated art mural.
The Solution
- Implemented ICRA-compliant containment measures, including negative pressure zones, to maintain infection control during construction.
- Executed complex electrical installations to power the new Gamma Camera NM/CT 850 while ensuring system reliability.
- Integrated specialized lighting, including ceiling-mounted illuminated murals, to enhance the imaging room’s environment.
- Utilized the “Pope Mobile” (mobile containment cart) for efficiency in working within an active hospital setting.
The Results
- Enhanced Imaging Capabilities: The new Gamma Camera is fully operational, providing advanced diagnostic imaging.
- Seamless Electrical Integration: All power systems function optimally to support critical hospital operations.
- Compliance with Healthcare Standards: Infection control protocols ensured a safe working environment without disruptions.
- Improved Patient & Staff Experience: The lighting enhancements contribute to a calming and functional medical space.
