At RAD Technology Medical Systems, our mission is to accelerate access to lifesaving care while maintaining the highest patient and staff safety standards. With our modular approach, where nearly 80% of construction takes place in a controlled off-site environment, we reduce project timelines and dramatically minimize the infection risks associated with traditional on-site builds.
Why Infection Control Matters in Construction
Dust, mold, and airborne pathogens generated by conventional construction can create real risks in a healthcare setting. Construction-related infections, particularly fungal infections such as Aspergillus, have been linked to increased patient morbidity and mortality during hospital projects (HSE). By shifting the majority of fabrication to our off-site facilities, RAD reduces these hazards before they ever reach your hospital campus.
How RAD’s Modular Process Enhances Infection Control
Factory-Controlled Assembly
Modules are fabricated in a sealed, climate-controlled environment, limiting exposure to moisture, dust, and microbes. This results in cleaner, safer structures when delivered to your site.
Reduced On-Site Disruption
With only final installation and utility hookups taking place at the hospital, RAD minimizes noise and airborne contaminants in sensitive care environments.
Built-In Hygiene Features
Our vaults and treatment spaces can be designed with coved bases, antimicrobial finishes, and easy-to-clean surfaces to support long-term infection prevention strategies.
Parallel Construction Advantage
While groundwork occurs on-site, modules are built simultaneously off-site, shortening project timelines and reducing the length of exposure to potential construction-related infection risks.
Speed and Safety When It Matters Most
During the COVID-19 pandemic and other public health emergencies, modular healthcare solutions demonstrated their ability to provide rapid, hygienic responses. Offsite manufacturing has been shown to reduce project timelines by up to 50%. For oncology centers and hospitals, this means earlier access to radiation therapy and other critical treatments without compromising infection safety.
Case Study: The RAD Vault
The RAD Vault is a safer, smarter pathway to delivering advanced cancer care in a protected environment for hospitals. Here’s what we offer:
Precision Shielding
Each vault is manufactured with RAD’s proprietary radiation shielding and engineered off-site under factory-controlled conditions to ensure quality and precision.
Infection Control by Design
Because the vault is built almost entirely off-site, there is little to no dust, debris, or microbial disturbance at the hospital site—critical when building adjacent to active patient care areas.
Rapid Deployment
While traditional vaults may take a year or more to complete, a RAD Vault can be delivered and installed in a fraction of the time, meaning patients have access to treatment sooner.
Future-Ready Infrastructure
Designed to accommodate current and next-generation linear accelerators, the vault ensures uninterrupted cancer care without disruptive retrofits or prolonged downtime.
Sustainable and Resilient by Design
RAD’s modular builds also align with healthcare’s sustainability goals. Offsite construction methods generate significantly less material waste and environmental disturbance than traditional building approaches. By choosing RAD, hospitals gain facilities that are cleaner to construct, easier to maintain, and adaptable to future medical technologies.
Building Healthcare Facilities with Safety at the Core
RAD’s offsite manufacturing model ensures cleaner, faster, and safer healthcare environments. With the RAD Vault and our full portfolio of modular solutions, your facility can protect patients from day one while staying prepared for the future of medicine. Contact us today to learn more.
