As healthcare organizations evolve, DIRTT Environmental Solutions
(“DIRTT” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: DRTT, TSX: DRT), has
highlighted how its high-performing, adaptable, interior
environments create healthcare spaces that maximize efficiencies
across heath care systems.
The pandemic has opened new ways of thinking
about delivering healthcare that will endure long after COVID-19.
According to a recent survey by Mortenson, 40% of healthcare
professionals said facility investments are anticipated to exceed
pre-COVID-19 levels with that same amount stating their plans to
invest more in facilities over the next year and a half - the
biggest planned investment being revamping traditional hospitals
(71%).
“This intelligence reflects what we hear from
our clients and partners,” says interim chief executive officer
Todd Lillibridge. “The need to scale on-demand is the primary
requirement healthcare systems have right now and it’s why we
believe DIRTT’s comprehensive approach to building healthcare
spaces remains so relevant.” Lillibridge goes on to say,
“Healthcare systems must be designed primarily with ultimate
resiliency in mind – spaces can no longer just meet a single
programmatic requirement, they have to meet current needs and be
adaptable, so they positively impact long-term capital.”
DIRTT’s innovative construction solutions
combine DfM (Design for Manufacturing) with DfD (Design for
Disassembly). This approach is an integral part of lean and
efficient project delivery and is fundamental to achieve
predictable outcomes eliminating redundant design, budget,
construction, and ongoing facility management efforts.
Jennifer Warawa, DIRTT’s chief commercial
officer reiterates the value of this approach. “At DIRTT, we
believe the best construction outcomes are generated when clients
include us as part of a multi-disciplinary team to develop
flexible, scalable, and repeatable healthcare solutions – giving
clients the ultimate in cost control and predictability.”
DIRTT’s assemblies are manufactured with high
quality, sustainable materials, conforming to the emission
standards associated with the SCS Indoor Advantage Gold
certification. Developing healthcare spaces with low emitting
materials and fewer harmful chemicals encourages wellness for all
patients.
DIRTT strengthens healthcare client
roster
From clinics to patient rooms, DIRTT’s
construction solutions can be applied across any health system. The
Company continues to add clients.
In TexasA large clinical practice in Houston
selected DIRTT to build out more than 50,000 square feet of their
new premier location, bringing together a variety of specialists in
one location. DIRTT’s construction solutions (walls, doors,
casework, and electrical including X-ray and specialty rooms)
enabled the practice to meet their accelerated timeline, occupying
their space three to five months ahead of conventional
schedules.
In collaboration with DIRTT, the client also
developed their standardized room design to support the specialties
in the space. These specifications are now being used as a platform
to build future spaces. The client recognized DIRTT’s speed to
market and ability to design and build patient spaces, exceeding
expectations and creating exceptional patient experiences.
In PennsylvaniaA large healthcare system in
Philadelphia recently selected DIRTT to complete eight floors -
71,600 square feet - of DIRTT multi-trade prefab construction,
for their Specialty Care Pavilion. Delivering an accelerated
construction schedule, minimal waste production on site, and ease
of maintenance, DIRTT will build out 454 rooms, including exam
rooms, patient washrooms, and team rooms. Having worked with the
Company in the past, the client recognized DIRTT was the only
solution to create a space that was innovative and adaptive and
could be tailored to the needs of patients and team members.
Building with DIRTT, the Specialty Care Pavilion can expect to see
a reduction in construction schedule, enabling speed to market,
early occupancy, and speed to revenue.
In New YorkDIRTT continues to work within
the ambulatory care construction market with a major New York City
healthcare institution on the west side of Manhattan. Consisting of
nine floors of DIRTT’s multi-trade prefabricated modular assemblies
(including walls, doors, casework, and electrical), the Company
will support the construction of exam rooms with a 50 STC rating,
to meet FGI Guidelines, clinical workspaces, and ancillary support
spaces. By utilizing DIRTT’s construction system, the client can
expect to benefit from increased speed of the overall construction
schedule and secure a resilient solution for future
adaptability.
DIRTT’s applied headwalls
Designed and built to reduce the impact on
initial capital cost and construction schedule, DIRTT’s applied
headwalls can also reduce operating costs and revenue loss due to
room down-days.
While extremely efficient and able to easily
adapt to change, the applied headwall can be scaled to extend cost,
time, and coordination benefits to an entire facility. When fully
deployed in a hospital, the result is a resilient building with
sustainable behaviors that meet current needs and can adapt to an
unknown future while having a positive impact on the long-term
capital plan.
Chris Burke, director, DIRTT Healthcare, affirms
the client benefit of a modular approach to headwalls is immediate.
“DIRTT’s applied headwalls arrive with factory installed components
ready for installation and connection to building services. This
reduces scope of work for multiple trades impacting material and
labor costs, increasing coordination, reducing risk, and providing
supply chain, schedule, and cost certainty.”
DIRTT's applied headwall consists of a UL listed
assembly with factory-installed UL listed plug and play modular
components, and removable finish panels that enables an acuity
adaptable headwall solution.
DIRTT has worked with over 1,500 healthcare
clients and has completed over 2,800 healthcare projects. From
isolation rooms to urgent care facilities, DIRTT supports all
healthcare space needs, improving safety, decreasing construction
timelines, and building future-ready spaces.
