HVAC Retrofitting for Advanced Medical Facilities

Transforming spaces, advancing radiology.

Project Scope

ACEPT, a leading organisation specialising in the design and construction of radiology groups across Australia and New Zealand, faced the challenge of retrofitting commercial real estate into advanced radiology practices. The project demanded a comprehensive overhaul of existing office layouts to accommodate the intricate ventilation, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) needs essential for the high-tech radiology equipment, including MRI and CT scanners while ensuring optimal patient comfort and procedure efficacy.

The Sensible Building Solution

In collaboration with SB Solutions, Acept undertook several retrofitting projects to transform conventional spaces into state-of-the-art radiology facilities. This partnership involved meticulous planning and execution, starting from the demolition of existing structures to custom-designing HVAC systems tailored to the unique requirements of radiology operations. SB Solutions contributed its expertise in developing the mechanical HVAC packages necessary for obtaining the required consents, while Acept handled the specific infrastructure needs for the sophisticated medical equipment. Together, they ensured the seamless integration of all components, addressing the challenges of infrastructure demands, exclusion zones, and penetration issues.

Key Impacts

The retrofitting projects, exemplified by the Beyond Radiology facility on Papanui Road, Christchurch, were completed successfully, meeting the stringent timelines and budget constraints set by Acept and their end clients. The result was a series of fully operational, advanced radiology practices that met the high standards of medical service delivery, patient care, and equipment efficiency. ACEPTt and SB Solutions' collaborative efforts led to the creation of facilities that were not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing, contributing positively to the overall patient experience.
