Why Top Builders Swear by HEPACART® for Clean Healthcare Construction

As a healthcare facility manager, you've got a lot on your plate. From making sure that your hospital is using the available space the most efficiently, keeping your facility up to code, balancing maintenance budgets, keeping an eye on potential renovation and construction projects, and prioritizing continual improvement, your days are full, and healthcare compliance is at the top of your mind. 

On an average day, regulatory compliance is a driving force in your decision-making, but it is even more important through construction and renovation projects where there is an increased risk of infection, irritation, and lower overall air quality in your facility. Because of this threat to patients and staff, your facility could be at risk by not taking the necessary precautions and meeting the appropriate cleaning standards. Those are the health and safety of patients and staff and financial liabilities that can be impacted when your facility is non-compliant with the health and safety standards in the construction processes.

Ultimately, a cleaner facility through the construction process benefits everyone, and the right knowledge, processes, and equipment can make your job of getting there much more streamlined. With HEPACART® equipment, you can rely on industry-leading efficiency paired with the flexibility to take on messy construction projects whenever they arise. From dust containment to negative air, we’ve got you covered with powerful machinery to keep your facility safe, avoid fines, and stay compliant through it all. 

The Power of HEPACART Products

Top 5 Advantages of Choosing HEPACART for Clean Healthcare Construction 

1. Productivity

Every facility faces, at minimum, routine maintenance tasks like cable and wire installation, light installation, and HVAC projects. These tasks require time and focus to complete, and your infection control measures shouldn’t have to add complicated steps and excessive setup time. The HEPACART ceiling access cart was crafted for efficiency from the ground up to streamline these day-to-day operations. Thanks to its simple raising and lowering system, it can be repositioned in just 90 seconds. Plus, the built-in HEPA-filtration system means that there is less equipment for construction teams to lug around for each task. Our customers often tell us that this productivity boost alone makes their investment “pay for itself” quickly. 

2. Durability

Our first HEPACART ceiling access carts, which went to Shawnee Mission Medical Center in Kansas, are proof of our commitment to long-lasting quality. After decades of service, they're still in top-notch condition. This durability isn't unique to one HEPACART product. This level of quality and durability is standard for all our offerings, including dust containment carts, anterooms, mobile containment walls, negative pressure machines, and Far-UV germicidal irradiation equipment. 

3. Sustainability

Sustainability is at the heart of HEPACART's design. Our products are built with robust aluminum unibody construction and are not just lightweight and strong but also highly recyclable. This reduces energy costs and carbon emissions. Because of their long-lasting design and materials, they eliminate the need for temporary enclosures, significantly cutting down the environmental impact by reducing waste like plastic, wood, and drywall from renovation projects.

4. Flexibility

At HEPCART, we recognize that no two healthcare construction or renovation projects are the same. Because of this, we've equipped our machinery with over 50 adaptable features for whatever you may need your HEPACART machinery to handle. Most of these options can be added to our existing products, meaning that you don’t have to purchase a new machine for one small change in your needs. Looking for something specific? We’re always happy to guide your search — reach out to us today for expert help in customizing your HPECART equipment. 

5. Safety

Safety is non-negotiable for us, always. Any of our products that are equipped with HEPA filtration undergo rigorous testing and certification to ensure top-notch air quality and airflow. So, when you receive a HEPACART dust containment cart or any of our other equipment, you can confidently deploy health and safety measures around your facility. It’s our promise to you.
