Did You Know? DMA in Healthcare
Healthcare institutions need the latest technology and reliable infrastructure to be at their best. We understand the value of each project, no matter the size. DMA provides engineering services to several medical campuses that are highly ranked throughout the United States. Those same services are provided to other private healthcare providers and federal healthcare clientele. Our ability to conform to the needs of healthcare clients is essential. From an engineering perspective it’s all about infrastructure reliability and facility accessibility. Our clients are able to utilize their facilities knowing that they could not find a better environment to practice their crafts.
At DMA, we consider every project on a campus to be of the utmost importance. We could be designing a new pavilion for cancer treatment, a 1M SF new hospital building or performing rehabilitation designs of parking structures or drainage systems. In any particular case it is our responsibility to make sure that our clients and partner firms recognize our skills as being of the highest quality and our project managers as ‘A’ players.
This industry, similar to educational facilities, often requires a phased approach; not only a phased approach to the design, but most importantly to the construction. Developing a design and phasing plan that gives our healthcare clients the ability to continue their day-to-day jobs is a top priority. A design that plans for phased construction is just as important to a utility rehabilitation project as it is a facility renovation and upgrade. Giving our healthcare partners a successful end product is a primary goal but delivering a successful project can only be done if limited interruption to daily activities is achieved.
We recognize that no project comes together with just one person or one organization. DMA engages in partnerships with engineering and architectural firms on a regular basis to complement our skills. An engineering approach to a medical project is only implemented once a clear plan is developed and advanced communications and technical equipment are determined. We have found that the internal workings of a hospital facility can have a major impact on internal structural systems and on the exterior
site development considerations. A focus on the big picture is the best strategy when devising an engineering approach to some of our very complicated engineering solutions.
Recent project types include: optometry facilities, medical office buildings, cancer facilities, ambulatory emergency care centers, teaching facilities, renovations/additions, utility relocation and reconstruction projects, community health facilities, demolition plans for out dated facilities, and feasibility studies.
