With the need to turn around patient rooms, ICUs and containment units in record time to address the COVID-19 crisis, many local Governments and States have turned to modular construction as a solution.
In this blog post, we interviewed our client Antony Kountouris, CEO of
BMarko Structures on how his team met the challenge of the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency by delivering 24 modular patient rooms in record time to the Phoebe Putney Memorial North Hospital.
We also discuss the long term use of modular and offsite construction as a means to build state of the art hospitals and healthcare facilities faster and more cost effectively.
Q: Congratulations on successfully completing the Phoebe Putney Memorial North Hospital project in record time! Tell us a little bit about how you were approached by the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency to address their immediate need for patient rooms during the COVID-19 crisis? Were they actively looking for modular technology as a means to address the shortage?
