Building Better Outcomes with Reinforced Concrete Brochure
12 pp.; 2009
Healthcare administrators and designers face key challenges in creating healthcare facilities that meet their ever-changing needs. They must minimize construction costs to stretch their budgets, yet they also must look to future expenditures, using materials and systems that will require little maintenance. At the same time, their facilities must be flexible enough to meet current medical needs and sophisticated equipment while being capable of adapting to future innovations as soon as they occur. The building also must project an image that fits the facility’s mission and assures patients that they’ve made the right choice among many options. Reinforced concrete provides the right prescription for healthcare facilities’ construction needs. As with medicine itself, advances in materials and methods for cast-in-place and precast concrete fabrication techniques are making reinforced concrete of all types more effective and efficient today.
