Engineered once, deployable many times.
A modular dialysis unit is a permanent renal care wing built from prefabricated modules with the water treatment plant, central concentrate distribution, dialysis chair stations, nursing infrastructure and supporting clinical workflow already integrated. structmod modular dialysis units deliver renal care capacity in 8, 12 or 24 dialysis station configurations — sized to the catchment population's chronic kidney disease prevalence and the local dialysis programme model. Construction timeline is 12-16 weeks turnkey for a 24-station unit, compared to 12-18 months for a conventionally-built dialysis centre, critical when patient demand outpaces existing fixed-site capacity.
The water treatment plant is the heart of the dialysis unit and the most engineered component. structmod modular dialysis units integrate full reverse osmosis water treatment in a dedicated water plant module: pre-filtration, water softening, RO permeation (typically dual-pass for clinical reliability), post-RO UV treatment, and ring-main delivery loop to each dialysis station. Water quality monitoring and surveillance follow AAMI/ISO 23500 (water for haemodialysis) and EN 13959 (water for dialysis applications): conductivity, chlorine and chloramine, total organic carbon, microbiological count and endotoxin sampling per the standards' frequency. Central bicarbonate and acid concentrate distribution feeds each station through dedicated concentrate loops.
structmod modular dialysis units serve national renal programmes building rural dialysis access, hospital renal services expanding outpatient haemodialysis capacity, private dialysis chains opening new centres, and humanitarian programmes serving refugee populations with established renal failure. Lead time is 12-16 weeks from contract signature for stock configurations, 14-20 weeks for customised programmes. Clinical commissioning includes water quality validation, machine-specific testing and infection control verification before first treatment.
Typical deployment sequence
- Day 1 — site foundation verified, screw jacks or strip footings in place
- Day 2–3 — modules lifted into position by mobile crane
- Day 3–4 — inter-module connections and envelope sealing
- Day 4–5 — MEP connections, wet testing
- Day 5–6 — interior finish, fixtures and equipment install
- Day 7 — commissioning, FAT report, user training and handover
