As surgical demand continues to grow, hospitals need high quality infrastructure solutions that can be delivered quickly, safely and with certainty.
Cubro Opritech specialises in designing and installing modular theatres. In many cases, we can install a fully functional modular OR in as little as two to three weeks compared to several months for traditional construction.
At The Rutherford Clinic in Wellington, we installed three modular gastroenterology and endoscopy procedure rooms (each measuring 26.1m²) in just over one week while seismic strengthening and flooring work took place in the surrounding brick building. Now that’s quick!
Dramatically cut your construction timeline
One of the biggest advantages of modular design is the impact it has on programme duration.
Traditional construction requires multiple trades working sequentially on site. Walls are framed, plasterboard is installed, finishes are applied, and services are coordinated around those activities. Each stage depends on the previous one being completed first, and many materials require curing time before the next trade can begin. Wet weather, high humidity or coordination challenges can easily de-rail your project timeline.
By contrast, modular operating theatres shift much of that work off-site into controlled manufacturing environments. Because all components arrive ready to assemble, there is no plastering, painting or curing time required. Hospitals can move from a bare shell to a fully operational theatre much faster, delivering a quicker return on investment.
Our team provides all the labour required to install the walls, ceiling, hardware, software, electrical, plumbing, medical gas and HVAC services. If you’re in a hurry, we simply put more installers on the job and coordinate everything for you.
We offer a complete turnkey solution and we’ve never failed to deliver on time. Your new OR will be fully commissioned and ready to go when you need it. This ensures you can operate financially as planned, and most importantly, patients can receive surgery without unnecessary delays.
Design happens in parallel
Speed doesn’t just come from faster installation. It starts in the design phase.
We work alongside architects, hospital design teams and builders from the earliest stages of a project. We consult with key stakeholders such as surgeons, theatre managers and project managers so operational requirements are understood quickly and the design can progress without delay. We arrange service coordination sessions and collaborate closely with all involved.
Because our theatre design often runs in parallel with a wider hospital project, we can compress the programme significantly. Our experienced team can prioritise design work when timelines are tight. Once drawings are finalised, we move quickly into manufacturing, and in some cases we can even work with our international suppliers to accelerate production where needed.
The result is a streamlined process that helps hospitals move from concept to installation far faster than traditional construction methods allow.
Less disruption. Greater certainty
Because modular operating theatres are essentially a plug-and-play system, installation causes much less disruption inside live hospital environments.
Key components are manufactured off-site under strict quality control, then delivered ready to assemble within a defined installation window. There’s less noise, less dust and less excess materials and debris to clean up afterwards.
Reduce congestion on site by letting Cubro Opritech deliver an integrated solution for you – enjoy less headaches, fewer construction variables and a new state-of-the-art theatre that is ready to use within weeks rather than months.
If you’re planning a new operating theatre build or refurbishment, I’d welcome the opportunity to discuss how modular construction can help speed up your project timeline.
