Building for Better Health: Knutson prioritizes innovative work in Healthcare Construction

During construction, infection prevention and control are crucial in healthcare facilities. With the constant changes in the medical field, ICRA (Infection Control and Risk Assessment) training and continuous communication between the construction team and healthcare professionals is essential to secure confidence among all parties.

At Knutson, we prioritize innovative work in healthcare construction and ensuring safety and satisfaction every step of the way. Rod Sessing, a Senior Superintendent says he was one of the first to bring ICRA to the job sites to teach not only the carpenters and laborers who work for Knutson but also the subcontractors, electricians, plumbers, and pipefitters.

Throughout healthcare renovations, STARC temporary walls are a valuable, cost-effective addition to the sites. These walls serve as a barrier for noise, dust, and debris, protecting high-risk patients from the construction team while maintaining a cleaner appearance for the facility during the remodel. Sticky mats when exiting the area and installing HEPA filters are also ways to prevent dust from entering the airflow system.

Our VDC team uses innovative technology with 3D scanning. These highly detailed rendering scans help medical professionals understand what is behind the walls and ceilings and determine the best containment measures. This is helpful even after the project is completed so the owner can go back and look at these 3D prints when needed.

Team Blue leadership is dedicated to providing necessary training for all staff involved in the projects and delivering service that will distinguish these facilities. You can take a look at some Knutson healthcare builds here!
