Kemptville hospital deploys prefab CT module

KEMPTVILLE, Ont. – SDI Canada, Canadian leader in medical infrastructure, is pleased to announce the delivery of Ontario’s first-ever Prefabricated Modular Cassette for CT at Kemptville District Hospital. This cassette will house a new GE Computed Tomography (CT) scanner and supporting spaces, expanding the hospital’s diagnostic imaging department.

This state-of-the-art technology creates a secure and controlled environment essential for operating advanced medical equipment, such as the GE CT Scan system. By adopting this modular approach, hospitals and healthcare institutions can continue their regular operations seamlessly during periods of reorganization, renovation, or expansion.

Unlike traditional construction methods, the prefabricated modular building ensures significantly faster deployment and enhanced quality control, as each component is manufactured in a fully controlled setting. This efficiency not only accelerates implementation but also guarantees the highest standards of precision and reliability.

This pioneering installation sets a new standard for healthcare infrastructure, enabling medical institutions to deliver uninterrupted, high-quality care to patients while modernizing their facilities.

With prefabricated modular delivery, an immense attention to detail is required. The two 80,000 lbs super-loads made their way north of the GTA and through Peterborough County to their final destination: Kemptville District Hospital.

Here are some details of the voyage:

• Two 130 ft super-trailers.
• Each prefabricated building weighs around 80,000lbs.
• The trucks travel about 500 km to destination.
• Craned into place using a 550-ton crane.

The innovative technology behind these prefabricated installations effectively meets some of the most pressing needs of today’s hospitals by satisfying the hospitals’ clinical and technological obligations.

The Modular CT Cassette is manufactured in a controlled factory environment, and each unit is fully customizable.

Hospitals can select dimensions and options tailored to their specific needs, whether for imaging, surgery, reception, triage, or office space. The design also includes ergonomic features to enhance comfort for both patients and healthcare professionals and can be seamlessly integrated into existing infrastructure.

By increasing procedure capacity, this modular solution also supports advancements in clinical care and research, paving the way for innovation in healthcare delivery.
