HHI Corporation COVID-19 Response

Ready to combat COVID-19: HHI Corporation has begun fabrication of Mobile Triage Units and Portable Test Labs

These modular systems have been designed to assist federal and state governments by providing temporary facilities with an increased medical capacity nation-wide.

Ogden, Utah, April 7, 2020 – HHI Corporation is proud to announce it has begun fabrication of two systems to provide COVID-19 patient care. Systems include Mobile Triage Units and Portable Test Labs. Both prefabricated systems can be installed inside or outside a variety of facilities where treatment of COVID-19 patients is taking place, such as hospitals, hotels or convention centers. The units have been designed to be transportable and modular for quick installation. These systems will be available for shipment by the end of April 2020.

10 Mobile Triage Units are currently planned for fabrication, with a possibility of 20 additional units. HHI intends to donate, at no cost, the first completed system to a federal or state organization with an immediate need.

The layout of the Mobile Triage Units includes four patient rooms with three beds each, nurses stations and support equipment. Systems for the units include electrical systems powered by diesel generators or shore connections, ventilation systems with HEPA filtration, and potable water/waste connections. Using six heavily modified shipping containers and one fabricated equipment skid, this system will be shipped in pieces and then assembled on-site.

Optional design features for the Mobile Triage Units include medical gas lines and storage, general waste storage, medical waste storage, soiled linen storage, and an additional diesel fuel cell. The configuration of the system can also be changed for temporary showers, bathrooms, or laundry services.

Portable Test Labs have been designed to provide comprehensive testing services for COVID-19. Transaction windows on the outside of the unit with exposure protection guards are included for medical staff with hand washing stations. The unit is divided into three isolated areas and includes a registration area, testing laboratory, and a nurses station. The unit’s HVAC system is designed to prevent the spread of contaminated particles. One single unit makes up this system and no assembly is required on-site.

Teaming agreements have been established with mechanical and electrical subcontractors who can perform installation work in any major metropolitan area in the U.S. This will enable HHI and its team to quickly install and connect systems to existing power and water connections, if available. In locations where no existing connections are present, systems will be equipped with generators, fresh water and grey water systems. For ReleaseApril7, 2020
