Within days of announcing the $2-million structure
in Burlington, Ontario, pieces began arriving from
Sprung's Calgary facility, and immediately began
being put together by BLT Construction and a
team of subcontractors. The aluminum structure
combined with tensioned membrane panels is an
ideal solution for quick-build hospitals. It is based
on "swooping" aluminum supports and are wrapped
with a thick material. Inside these structures,
all hospitals implement pandemic plans to help medical teams are provided with everything from
increase capacity as cases of COVID-19 continue to working intensive care units to medical overflow
grow. Upon that advice, Joseph Brant Hospital set facilities, triage units, isolation zones, and testing
out to build a temporary pandemic response unit to facilities. The interior grade medical units are
expand the hospital’s bed capacity in preparation literally constructed in days from pre-manufactured
for the anticipated surge of COVID-19 patients on walls systems that literally snap into position within
March 30. minutes.
