About Erzincan 250-Bed State Hospital
Built in Erzincan, this 250-bed state hospital makes an important contribution to the region’s healthcare infrastructure.
Erzincan lies in one of Türkiye's highest seismic hazard zones. In a 250-bed hospital, designing the structure for a performance target that keeps services running after an earthquake is decisive, and the continental climate makes reliable, redundant heating essential.
Erzincan 250-Bed State Hospital is one of the reference projects in Sönmez Mühendislik's healthcare facilities portfolio. Since 1995, Sönmez Mühendislik has provided structural, electrical, mechanical and infrastructure engineering with BIM coordination for projects in Türkiye and abroad.
Approach
Engineering for healthcare facilities
Hospitals and healthcare buildings are among the most engineering-intensive building types, driven by medical gas, cleanroom, uninterrupted power and seismic safety requirements.
- Structural design to the Turkish seismic code
- Uninterrupted power: generators, UPS and critical load distribution
- HVAC, cleanroom and medical gas systems
- BIM clash detection in services-dense zones
Engineering
Key engineering topics for this type of project
Hospitals operate 24/7, must remain operational after an earthquake and carry the densest building services of any building type. Operating theatres, intensive care and imaging units require dedicated engineering for hygiene, pressure control and continuous power.
- 01
Post-earthquake functionality
The structural system is designed to a performance level that keeps the hospital operational after an earthquake; seismic isolation is assessed where needed.
- 02
Controlled ventilation
Pressure cascades, air change rates and HEPA filtration are designed specifically for operating theatres and intensive care units.
- 03
Medical gas
Oxygen, vacuum and medical air distribution is planned with redundancy and monitoring.
- 04
Critical loads
Generators, UPS and automatic transfer systems keep critical units continuously supplied.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why is BIM coordination important in hospital projects?
Ceiling voids and shafts in hospitals are packed with ductwork, medical gas lines, cable trays and fire protection; BIM resolves clashes before they reach the site.
Which hospital areas need special ventilation?
Operating theatres, intensive care units, isolation rooms and sterile areas are designed specifically for pressure differentials, air change rates and filtration.
How is uninterrupted power achieved in a hospital?
Critical loads are supplied by generators and UPS, with redundant distribution and automatic transfer systems.
