In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) asked BELFOR Charleston for urgent help. To reduce stress to their patients and keep a large influx of potentially infected people from entering their main hospital and Ambulatory Care facilities, MUSC needed a mobile COVID-19 testing site erected immediately. Collaborative discussions between MUSC and BELFOR produced an initial design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In less than 48 hours, BELFOR transformed a 3-acre parking lot in West Ashley, SC, into a large capacity, drive-through testing site. The site serves Charleston and surrounding areas — approximately 325 cars a day, six days a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The site comprises:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • 2,750 linear square feet of fencing, 2,500 feet of electric cable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Traffic pattern designed with roadways barriers, cones, signage,
    emergency lanes and gates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Black zone restricted area where only hospital personnel,
    patients and BELFOR staff are allowed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Six stations with tables, chairs, tent and a refrigerator\/freezer
    unit for test kits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Large freezer unit where completed tests are transferred from
    smaller units for daily pickup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 10 hand wash stations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 3-stall shower trailer for decontamination.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Portable offices for nursing staff.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Bathroom trailer and four light towers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
