Hilti Mi Medical Equipment Support System vs. Red Iron Structural Steel Supports
June 27th, 2012
The Hilti MI medical equipment support system offers significant cost savings and versatility, compared to red iron/structural steel supports. This system saves money as it helps keep hospital construction and upgrade projects on schedule by preventing the need for extra work, such as welding and rerouting of mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems.
Structural steel and red iron add to project costs by requiring fabrication time in the shop and in the field. Red iron supports must be custom designed to the unique specifications of each piece of medical equipment that is to be hung or supported.
In contrast, Hilti MI components – because they are entirely modular in nature – can be pulled directly off the shelf in stock lengths and installed immediately, requiring no welding. They are designed to accommodate a wide range of equipment models made by major medical equipment manufacturers, such as GE, Toshiba, Siemens and Philips, for operating rooms, CT, x-ray equipment and heart catheterization labs. They provide the strength necessary for supporting even the heavier types of diagnostic devices, such as C arms and heart cath equipment, which can weigh in at 3,000 pounds. Read More…

Hilti Anchors & Tools Simplify Ceiling Grid Installation In Post-Tension Concrete
February 2nd, 2012
Anchoring grids to concrete ceilings is sometimes easier said than done. Concrete slabs are sometimes strengthened using a process called post tensioning, a method that uses embedded high strength steel cables to reinforce the concrete. Although this construction technique produces concrete sections with excellent structural integrity, locating post-tension cables (and rebar or conduit for that matter) in concrete presents a challenge. Making contact with post-tension tendons when drilling holes can cause catastrophic failure of overhead concrete panels.
We recently installed a ceiling grid for a simulation lab at the Cleveland Clinic. Read More…
