Building a state-of-the-art healthcare facility is no easy task. Creating one inside a building that was never meant to be a hospital in the first place? That\u2019s even harder. But that\u2019s where the story started for Grand Medica, in Novokuznetsk, Siberia. Providing every patient with the highest quality medical care required the development of a fully connected facility.<\/p>\n

Connected to quality care <\/strong><\/h3>\n

The design and construction teams knew th\"Grandey wanted an effective, integrated system \u2014 one that covered all the needs of a healthcare facility and would prove flexible enough to support future upgrades and modernization. They found everything they needed in EcoStruxure for Healthcare<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we were choosing our electric and power supply equipment vendor, we talked with all the industry leaders in Russia,\u201d said Chief Engineer Andrey Sergeev. \u201cSchneider Electric offered us the best and most comprehensive terms for delivery, installation, project management, and cost-effectiveness.<\/p>\n

Grand Medica embraces revolutionary technology<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Together with Schneider Electric, the team implemented Building Information Modeling<\/a> (BIM) beginning at the design stage. This helped inform and streamline all aspects of the project. \u201cWe are the only organization in Russia to use BIM at all stages of the building\u2019s life cycle,\u201d Sergeev said. \u201cIt provided us with objective information about capital construction costs as well as future operational costs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEcoStruxure was a very important component in creating Grand Medica\u2019s BIM model,\u201d said Aleksandr Sutyagin, CEO of Comfort Laboratory, a long-time Schneider Electric certified EcoXpert partner<\/a> in building management systems and light and room control automation. \u201cThis is a revolutionary technology that\u2019s going to change the entire construction process in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schneider Electric acted as Grand Medica\u2019s partner from the design phase to completion and implementation of their chosen solution. \u201cSchneider participated practically at all stages of our project life cycle,\u201d said Sergeev. \u201cWith them, we were able to optimize not just our labor costs, but also the next stage of operations. Schneider Electric\u2019s expertise helped us meet all our needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Partnering for success <\/strong><\/h3>\n

As a certified EcoXpert partner in building management systems and light and room control solutions, Comfort Laboratory was called in as the system integrator on the project. \u201cWith the EcoStruxure architecture, the Grand Medica team can see the whole system,\u201d Sutyagin explained. \u201cThey have a single platform that covers all the systems that EcoStruxure touches.\u201d<\/p>\n
