Delivering Medical Support Solutions for Customers with Site Restrictions

When it comes to medical equipment supports, the installation has to be perfect even if the circumstances aren't. If the exam light, X-ray, or boom support is off by even a fraction of an inch, the supported equipment can't work appropriately. That precision is complicated when an installation site has less-than-ideal parameters.  

Here in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic markets, we've seen our share of century-old buildings being retrofitted for state-of-the-art equipment. Our team's experience with these conditions, along with our turnkey support solution offerings, helps us build trusting relationships with customers that keep them coming back. 

Engineering Medical Supports for Unique Circumstances 

In our part of the country, it is far more likely that a medical construction project is a renovation than a new build. While in Texas, for example, teams may be able to build a sprawling new facility with passageways that can accommodate fully prefabricated support solutions, our customers typically have limited space and even more limited access points.  

Our customers are, more often than not, turning old buildings in old cities into modern medical centers. With these conditions come a whole host of construction challenges: obstructions that can't be moved, limited electrical capabilities, tight alleys as access points, and no service elevators. It's important to partner with a solution provider who has extensive experience navigating these unique issues. 

Anyone can build an X-ray support in a clean white box that was constructed to be an imaging room. But in order to get the same caliber of a solution in a room that was originally a janitor's closet (a true story), it requires a partner who has seen these challenges before. Our team has worked in this region for years, and while every day is a unique situation, we've seen just about everything.  

Our customers turn to us not only because we have created engineered solutions to work around the common challenges of our area, but because we offer a fully turnkey solution, from design to installation, all in-house.  

Unistrut New Jersey's Turnkey Medical Support Offerings 

Customers often first turn to Unistrut Midwest because we have experience engineering solutions that work around our region's challenges, but they return to us because of our in-house team and our ability to provide a full-service solution.  

We offer turnkey medical support solutions thanks to our in-house engineering team, estimator, and drafter. Customers can present us with their needs and restrictions, and our team will design and engineer the solution, provide stamped drawings, and oversee installation with our unionized installation team. Customers can rely on us for each step of the process, eliminating the need to find other partners to stamp drawings or handle installation.  

Our solutions benefit from our team's familiarity with not only the construction circumstances of the region, but with our products as well. With most medical support solutions in our region fighting for every square inch of space, prefabricating a solution and installing it as a completed unit is not an option. Instead, solutions typically need to be built in place to accommodate space constraints and obstructions. This is where the modular nature of Sikla and Unistrut really shines. And because we have an in-house engineering team that is familiar with those products, we are able to offer a complete solution more quickly than a competitor relying on outsourced engineering.  

By leveraging our area expertise and a knowledgeable in-house team, we have built trusting relationships with our customers, allowing them to rely on us for even the trickiest of medical support projects.
