“Thinking outside the box,” hardly begins to cover what the Medical Equipment Solutions team at KJWW can do. When it comes to planning hospital rooms, surgical suites, emergency departments and examination areas, these engineers are ready for every contingency, every new regulation, and every advancing technology. Planning for efficient, safe and comfortable patient care is their mission. Service contract reviews, equipment assessments and phasing plans are all part of the process.

KJWW Engineering is among the first consulting firms in the U.S. to offer Medical Equipment Solutions along with Technology, Mechanical, Electrical and Structural engineering planning and design.  We recognize that each of these systems requires integration and coordination for accurate planning, budgeting and design.

Medical equipment has a close interaction with building engineering systems.  And as medical equipment and communications technologies converge, planning and selection of medical equipment can affect a facility’s infrastructure, costs and flexibility to support technology advancements.

KJWW Engineering is a leader in bringing these systems together.  By working with owners, architects and contractors to incorporate equipment system requirements early into design, we help prevent costly change orders and project delays.
