Hutz Hospi-Tec was awarded a project at Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital, for the alterations and upgrade of an open area to convert it into a High Care Unit with Isolation Rooms.
As a medical infrastructure facilities company with selected industry professionals and partners onboard to enable revitalisation programmes, Hutz Hospi-Tec focuses on existing facilities with the result being to refurbish specified areas within hospitals at a fraction of the cost of a new build.
The Charlotte Maxeke Hospital project was completed in January 2020, with a wide range of products and services utilised during the revitalisation process. These included electrical, drywalling, cupboards, vinyl flooring, skirtings, doors, ceiling tiles, glazing, bed screen rails, blinds, plastering, sanitary fittings, painting, nurse call systems, HVAC and medical gas. Hutz Medical also supplied HU4 Pendant Service Systems and various Attachments.
The cost of the refurbishment came to R255 000 per bed, whereas a new build per bed would have cost between R2.1 – R4 million.
“Well done to the team! The new ICU looks great,” commented Dr Smith, Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital.
