Modular construction is becoming more common in all types of builds, but it has amplified value when creating mechanical rooms and central utility plants (CUPs.) Off-site manufacturers can offer predictable schedules, cost certainty, and a steady stream of high-quality results. Sometimes referred to as prefabrication or modular construction, off-site construction…

As patients’ needs shift, hospitals all over the country are looking for ways to create hybrid spaces for imaging and surgeries without investing in new construction. However, building new spaces within the structural confines of existing buildings can present real challenges. Often older buildings feature lower ceilings and concrete framework…

Construction is more challenging than ever. Tight budgets, labor shortages, and demanding standards make it difficult to complete projects on budget and on time. When construction becomes complex, requiring a range of trades and specialties, the challenges are amplified. That’s why offsite construction has become such an attractive option for…

Medical technologies are constantly changing.  While these changes often offer superior patient care, they also continually challenge hospital operation managers to adapt medical facilities to meet new needs.  Ideally, operations managers can reconfigure outdated spaces, but this approach often presents difficulties.  When working within the structural confines of existing buildings,…

What can an urban laboratory do to dilute exhaust responsibly? And how can a metropolitan business comply with noise restrictions without impacting productivity? When Kevin Clare, Vice-President of Life Science Modular, encountered these engineering questions, he knew the solution.   High Plume Dilution Clare recommended the use of SkyPlume stacks. SkyPlume…

All cleanrooms must meet exceptionally high air quality standards. However, only a few manufacturers can also accommodate the need for precision moisture control. But Life Science Modular (LSM) regularly delivers customization. So, when a major pharmaceutical manufacturing facility needed a cleanroom with precision humidity control, LSM knew what to do.…

When a major pharmaceutical manufacturer received approval on an important new type of COVID vaccine, it needed to get production up and running very quickly. This meant that Life Science Modular (LSM) needed to support customers, contractors, and engineers in ways that allowed them to build a cleanroom manufacturing facility…

Operamed is a company located in Italy that produces prefabricated modular construction systems for operating rooms, ICUs, and other critical areas of a hospital.  The company’s comprehensive approach to the creation of specialized environments such as operating rooms, intensive care units, patient rooms, sterilization areas, diagnostic departments, dental clinics, and…

An interview with Bob Miller There’s no doubt about it.  The last few years have ushered in a lot of change, and few industries have been affected more than IAQ.  As a result, the world quickly changed for engineers, contractors, and facility managers concerned with indoor air quality.  Sometimes, it’s…

In healthcare, the need for a highly successful disinfection method is vital for critical environments. Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) radiation has become the most popular method because of its proven ability to dramatically reduce the transmission of many viral and bacterial infections, including mumps, measles, tuberculosis, and COVID-19. However, UV-C radiation poses…

When LSM was asked to supply a complex penthouse for a large manufacturing plant in Pennsylvania, they contacted EAS for a custom solution.  The EAS penthouse was made to order. It was built off-site and modular skids were used to place it inside the new facility designed for a pharmaceutical…

When a major pharmaceutical manufacturing plant needed fan redundancy, Life Science Modular (LSM) had the perfect solution. The Pennsylvania plant’s existing all-aluminum outdoor AHU had been using just one fan. We worked with our sister company, Coward Environmental Systems, Inc. Not only did we replace that fan with a state-of-the-art…
