Analysis #1: Commissioning
This technical analysis will look at the effectiveness
of commissioning on fit-out type construction projects
focusing on healthcare/hospital facilities. In order to
conduct this research the following steps should be
used.
• Review existing literature on commissioning of
healthcare/hospital facilities.
• Determine benefits and decision making process of
commissioning.
• Catalog research information into decision making
matrix.
Analysis #2: Infection Control Risk
Assessment
This technical analysis will look at the importance of
infection control risk assessment focusing on sequencing
and schedule reduction. In order to conduct this research
the following steps should be used.
• Review literature on infection control risk assessment
and requirements for healthcare/hospital facilities.
• Determine locations and types of assemblies that will be
used to satisfy these requirements.
• Identify sequence of work that will require the least
amount of rework or movement of these assemblies to
complete the project with the least amount of risk.
Analysis #3: Constructability
This technical analysis will look at the
constructability issues of the cardiac elevator addition in
an isolated site within the hospital complex. In order to
conduct this research the following steps should be
used.
• Identify constructability issues for the cardiac elevator
addition.
• Research alternate methods of construction.
