Nudura ICF for Medical Buildings

Insulated Concrete Forms offer a range of benefits for healthcare facilities, including hospitals, medical office buildings, senior living centers and more. The superior thermal insulation and soundproofing qualities ensures stable indoor temperatures and a quieter atmosphere, critical for patient recovery and medical procedures.

ICF walls are durable and fire-resistant in the face of natural disasters, enhancing the safety of patients, staff and guests. By integrating Nudura ICFs into your medical buildings, you not only optimize the comfort and security of your facility, but also achieve significant energy savings and operational efficiency.

Featured Project

UPMC Medical Center

The new UPMC Medical Center was built in Hermitage, Pennsylvania using Insulated Concrete Forms to simultaneously save costs on labor and time while increasing the durability of the structure.

Construction Speed

                            Forms are easily assembled and contain 6 building steps in 1. Can proceed in various weather conditions.

                        

Involves more steps like cutting, framing, and additional insulation, which can slow down the building process.

Disaster Resiliency

Highly resistant to floods, fires, hurricanes and earthquakes.

Prone to fire, termites and water damage. Not resilient against hurricanes, floods and earthquakes.

Structural Strength

Reinforced concrete core provides exceptional strength and durability.

At risk of deterioration from pests and moisture.

Thermal Efficiency

High R-values providing superb insulation and energy savings.

Leads to thermal bridging and gaps in insulation.

                            Forms are easily assembled and contain 6 building steps in 1. Can proceed in various weather conditions.

                        

Precast panels enable quick on-site assembly, but weather can cause delays. Insulating panels adds extra steps and slows the process.

Disaster Resiliency

Highly resistant to floods, fires, hurricanes and earthquakes.

Robust concrete panels make it fire, flood, and wind resistant. Additional design is needed for earthquake resilience.

Structural Strength

Reinforced concrete core provides exceptional strength and durability.

Thick concrete panels provide significant strength.

Thermal Efficiency

High R-values providing superb insulation and energy savings.

Generally, requires additional insulation measures.
