The Federal Center for Traumatology, Orthopedics and Endoprosthetics

The Federal Center for Traumatology, Orthopedics, and Endoprosthetics in Smolensk, completed in the summer of 2012, stands as a preeminent project under Russia’s healthcare modernization program of 2011-2012, covering an expansive 20,108 square meters. This cutting-edge facility prioritizes both high-tech medical capabilities and patient comfort. Characterized by wide halls, spacious rooms, electronic medical record systems, optimal postoperative conditions, and a modern conference room, the hospital embodies the epitome of a new generation medical institution.

The hospital units, constructed as high-tech modules with integrated utility lines and soundproof partitions, surpass conventional single-structure facilities in safety standards and medical treatment organization. The center’s infrastructure includes a polyclinic catering to 140 visits per shift (50 for children), 150 adult beds, 15 pediatric beds, 5 operating units, a 12-bed intensive care unit, X-ray department, clinical diagnostic laboratory, and functional diagnostics rooms. Our contribution involved delivering static projects for the modular steel structure and reinforced concrete foundation. Static calculations and sizing of the structural elements were all made in accordance with SNIP norms.

Embracing modular construction offered several advantages, with speed being a pivotal factor. Despite its swift construction, this permanent hospital is designed to provide healthcare services for several decades, underscoring the long-term impact of prefabrication in enhancing healthcare infrastructure.
