Normally, conventional CAD
design systems are still able to
satisfy requirements for the
design of relatively simple
hospital environments.
However, the very high level of
technology incorporated in a
modern Surgical Unit calls for
thorough planning of every
minimum detail of the available
space.
Firstly, the potential level of
satisfaction of the requirements
to be addressed must be analysed
in advance.
Once the technological,
functional, dimensional and
economic requirements have been
identified, the designer can
create an environmental layout
view with tools that make it
possible to reproduce the entire
area of the project in 3D.
At this point all critical
aspects must be identified with
the utmost precision, both in
the visible and occupied areas
(work spaces) and in concealed
areas of the system, i.e. all
the voids and cavities in which
technical systems are to be
accommodated.
This is particularly helpful
since a surgical unit normally
contains a high density of
technical systems and it is not
uncommon to encounter
difficulties in finding space
for the location and
distribution of technical
systems without being obliged to
infringe on room spaces and
volumes.
This problem is especially
common in renovation work, where
designers frequently encounter
insufficiently high ceiling
voids or mandatory routes or
positions for the accomodation
of supply equipment.
It follows that the very high
technological level of the
equipment installed in an
operating theatre calls for a
careful analysis of the siting
and routing of the technical
systems to which the various
appliances are connected.
We provide detailed previews of
each proposed solution.
