Main guide

How do you build a hospital abroad with systems made in Italy?

A hospital abroad built with systems made in Italy is delivered in six stages: analysis of local regulations and site conditions, detailed design and documentation, manufacturing and testing at the plant, packing and shipping, installation and testing on site, and support after handover. Prefabrication reduces reliance on local labour and brings quality checks forward, before shipping. ADAM follows this process from Bernate Ticino for sites in over 40 countries.

Doors

Main guide

Hospital doors: hermetic, lead-lined or hinged — which should you choose?

Hospital doors are chosen by room: hermetic automatic sliding doors for operating theatres and controlled-contamination rooms, lead-lined doors where the radiation protection expert specifies them, single or double hinged doors for corridors and bed movement, and glazed doors where patients must stay visible. The lead equivalence is calculated by the same expert. ADAM supplies hermetic and shielded medical doors together with its modular wall systems.

Manufacturing

Main guide

How are modular walls manufactured, from design to site?

A modular wall is manufactured in five stages: detailed design down to the bill of materials, machining of aluminium profiles and panels, assembly of modules with services provisions and finishes, inspection and testing before shipping, then logistics and dry installation on site. Manufacturing at the plant keeps precision and finishes consistent and moves problems from the site to the factory. In Bernate Ticino, Italy, ADAM handles design, machining, assembly and testing in-house and coordinates logistics and installation.

Modular operating theatres: what are they and how are they built?

A modular operating theatre is a surgical room whose walls, ceiling, doors and technical fittings are prefabricated components, manufactured and checked at the plant and assembled dry on site. The envelope integrates provisions for medical gases, control panels, monitors, cabinets and pass-through boxes, provides continuous cleanable surfaces and reduces dust and time on site. ADAM supplies its SALUS system for these theatres, made in Bernate Ticino, Italy.

Main guide

Office partition walls: single glazing, double glazing or solid panels?

Single glazing, such as the HERA system, brings daylight and transparency and suits open-plan areas and general offices. Double glazing, such as CRONO, offers higher sound insulation and blinds or venetians protected inside the cavity, for meeting rooms and executive offices. Solid panels, such as DECUS, give complete privacy and fitted walls. The three ADAM Office systems can be combined in one project with a single construction language.

What does an operating theatre require from its walls?

In an operating theatre a wall does more than divide: it seals the room, carries medical gases and power inside itself, and is cleaned every day. It therefore needs continuous surfaces with no open joints, it has to withstand repeated disinfection, and it must open for maintenance without demolition. A modular system answers all three because the services run inside the profile and each panel comes off on its own.

Main guide

Turnkey padel court: what is included and how is it built?

A turnkey padel court includes everything needed to start playing: consultation and design, a galvanised steel structure with metal mesh, toughened safety glass, artificial grass, lighting, installation and support after handover. The base and the permits should be clarified in the quote from the start. ADAM Sport builds turnkey courts under the TP Padel brand, in a 20 × 10 m double version and a 20 × 6 m single version.

Hospitals in Africa and the Middle East: why choose modular systems?

In hospitals in Africa and the Middle East, prefabricated modular systems reduce reliance on local specialist labour, move quality checks to the plant, are assembled dry even in difficult climates and remain accessible for maintenance. ADAM started its first contracts in the Gulf in 2008 and has supplied systems for facilities such as Farwaniya Hospital in Kuwait, Al Marj Hospital in Libya, Da Vinci Clinique in Morocco and Hôpital de Panzi in the DR Congo.

Healthcare environments

Modular intensive care units: how is an ICU designed?

An intensive care unit is designed around the bed space: room around the patient, medical gases and power within reach, continuous visibility from the nurses' station and infection control. Pre-finished modular walls provide cleanable surfaces, airtight isolation rooms, glazed partitions and integrated services that can be opened for maintenance, and allow the unit to be reconfigured as needs change. ADAM produces these walls with its SALUS system.

Modular walls or plasterboard in hospitals: what is the difference?

Plasterboard is built and finished on site and suits the less critical areas of a hospital. Modular walls arrive pre-finished from the plant, are assembled dry, have continuous cleanable surfaces, integrate services provisions and open for maintenance without demolition. For operating theatres, intensive care units and controlled-contamination rooms, especially in hospitals that stay open, modular walls reduce dust, time on site and construction risk.
