High Efficiency and Cleanliness, Enhanced Aesthetics — Case Study: Prefabricated Cleanroom Walls Project at a Hospital

I. Project Background

The Phase II project of the Pujiang Campus of the Eye, Ear, Nose, and Throat Hospital affiliated with Fudan University imposes strict requirements on the wall systems in clean areas: they must meet medical-grade antibacterial and easy-to-clean standards while shortening the construction schedule, minimizing on-site contamination, and achieving an overall aesthetic effect for the space. Traditional wet construction methods struggle to balance efficiency with cleanliness requirements, creating a bottleneck in the project’s progress.

II. Project Overview

This project involves the wall finishing of the hospital’s cleanroom areas. The scope of work includes the installation of approximately 10,929 square meters of medical-grade cleanroom panels and the construction of prefabricated modular walls. The core solution utilizes medical-grade cleanroom panels with a thickness of ≥4.5 mm in fabric-textured, white, or coffee-brown finishes, combined with prefabricated modular walls and an integrated hidden-door system to create an efficient, clean, and aesthetically pleasing wall system.

III. Key Challenges and Solutions

Construction Efficiency and Environmental Challenges: Traditional wet construction methods involve long lead times and significant dust pollution, which can easily disrupt hospital construction schedules.

• Solution: Adopt prefabricated modular walls combined with factory-prefabricated cleanroom panels, assembled on-site through modular splicing. This eliminates wet operations and increases construction efficiency by over 60%.

Cleanroom Pain Points: Gaps in traditional door frames tend to accumulate dust, making thorough cleaning and disinfection difficult.

• Solution: Integrated concealed doors were adopted, with door panels seamlessly matching the wall panels in both material and color, eliminating cleaning blind spots while achieving a visually seamless appearance.

 Medical Performance Requirements: Wall surfaces must possess antibacterial, stain-resistant, and acid/alkali-resistant properties to meet hospital disinfection requirements.

• Solution: Tianrun Medical Clean Panels were selected, featuring a surface antibacterial rate of over 99%, scrub resistance, and easy cleaning, meeting medical space standards.

IV. Project Implementation

During the preliminary phase, modular detailed design was completed. Clean panels and wall modules were prefabricated in the factory. On-site installation utilized a snap-fit rapid assembly process, with simultaneous commissioning of the concealed hardware for the invisible doors. The entire process was completed without wet work, ensuring efficient installation of the wall system.

V. Project Outcomes

Upon project delivery, the walls in the clean areas were smooth and uniform, with no hygiene dead zones, fully meeting the hospital’s daily cleaning and disinfection requirements. The construction cycle was significantly shortened, and there was no on-site contamination, earning high praise from the client. This solution provides an efficient, eco-friendly, and aesthetically pleasing integrated solution for medical cleanroom interiors and holds significant value for industry-wide.
