Rapid Design and Construction Management of Emergency Hospital During the COVID-19 Epidemic

In order to control the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic across the country, China has used all available resources to build infectious disease hospitals in various ways. These hospitals include three modes and adapt to different disease levels: temporary emergency hospitals; makeshift hospitals by transforming public buildings; and existing general wards transformed into infectious wards. Through the practice of several projects, on the basis of the original standard system, China urgently issued a series of relevant standards and guidelines to guide the construction of temporary hospitals. As one of the earliest cases of temporary emergency infectious disease hospital, the Thunder God Mountain Hospital adopted a prefabricated modular design concept in plan design, plane design and component design, and also combined the application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology. Based on industrialized module processing and manufacturing, combined with an efficient on-site construction management system, the problem was solved of completing the construction in a very short time, which played a key role in controlling the epidemic situation.
