Hybrid Cardiac Surgery Suite Rebuild
Somewhere on the waiting list was a patient whose surgery could not be pushed back. Every room closure was planned with that patient in mind.
LocationBirmingham, ALEvery hour of construction inside an operating hospital is taken from patient care. The work has to take as little as possible, give it back exactly when agreed and treat infection control as a hard rule, never a footnote.
A teaching hospital set out to convert its cardiac operating rooms into hybrid suites with robotic systems and fixed imaging, on the same floor where it performs valve and bypass surgery every weekday.
Rooms could close only in windows agreed with cardiac surgery, perfusion, anesthesia and infection prevention. Each window had a queue of patients behind it, and a missed handback meant cancelled cases.
The whole job, on one line.
Start to finish, as the schedule tells it. For work still in progress, the bar moves with today's date.
Our approach, phase by phase.
The same disciplined sequence we bring to every engagement, shaped around what this project needed most.
The difference we made
Measured the only way that matters: did the project land where we said it would.
Each suite closed and reopened on the day agreed with the clinical leads, across nineteen months of work.
Barrier builds, air-pressure checks and ICRA inspections were scheduled activities, not afterthoughts.
Delivery, calibration, staff credentialing and first case were managed as a single chain of dependencies.
What we brought to it
Critical Path Method schedules with complete logic, grounded durations and a critical path you can manage by, report on and defend.
01.16Look-Ahead PlanningRolling look-ahead plans that turn the master schedule into ready, resourced, constraint-free work for the field.
01.18Commissioning & Startup SchedulingSystem-based commissioning and startup schedules that carry facilities from mechanical completion to reliable operation.
01.06Schedule UpdatesDisciplined periodic updates that record real progress, reveal real trends and keep the schedule a working tool rather than a filed document.
