Lasermet Continues To Create Testing Pods For Hospitals In England

Construction News Image
Laser safety specialists Lasermet is continuing to create coronavirus testing pods for hospitals throughout England.

Also known as procedure and storage pods, they can be installed in a single day either inside buildings or outside in dedicated areas.

The covid-19 inspection pods can be used to check for coronavirus by dedicated virus testing staff. The pods can also be used as virus isolation pods or for treatment, or for storage.

They can be installed in areas that may be difficult for conventional portable cabins to be located. Because of their modular panel build they can be built on site to virtually any size. If they need to be relocated, they can either be moved by forklift or they can be quickly dismantled, moved and rebuilt in a single day.

The specification of the modular cabin or pod can include a range of door sizes, windows, ventilation systems, electronic LED signage, lighting and heating. They are suitable for daily deep cleaning and are weatherproof for outdoor situations e.g. in car parks.

The pods are highly insulated and can be used for numerous purposes. They can be thermostatically controlled to keep personnel warm or they can be chilled to low temperatures efficiently for cold room storage applications.

The modular pods can be rapidly resized, rebuilt and re- commissioned in a single day. For example, if hospitals require bigger pods, Lasermet can install additional modular panels.

The covid-19 pods are designed for rapid deployment anywhere in the world.
