Over the years, SDI has developed a special expertise deploying modular solutions that meet a wide range of healthcare needs both in urban and rural environments limiting operational impacts to a minimum.
When are prefabricated modular or mobile solutions a good choice?
Several aspects must be considered to determine the relevance of choosing a modular solution, such as how long the installations will be used, the weather conditions, the type of site where it will be deployed, the speed of deployment needed, and the level of customization required.

PDC Prefabricated Cassette building
The PDC Cassette solution can be delivered to a site in 16 weeks, installed in 2 days and ready to receive patients within 5 weeks of being craned in. Purpose-built for diagnostic imaging, the Cassette is specifically engineered to meet the strict requirements needed by equipment manufacturers. These high-spec buildings are designed to meet the same CSA Z8000, National Building Code, and provincial healthcare facility standards as conventional construction.
Once in place, the modular Cassettes provide the same stability and longevity as stick-built construction and have the same lifecycle expectations with a 50+ year lifespan.
