Today’s “Digital Hospitals” have critical MEP infrastructure that mirrors some of the most sophisticated data centers. New construction and renovation projects require the integration and validation of cutting-edge technologies that have become essential to the delivery of healthcare services, including Cyberknife, Gamma Knife, Da Vinci Surgery, linear accelerators, wandering patient systems, infant protection systems and virtual ICUs.
Bureau Veritas Primary Integration has commissioned over five million square feet of the most state-of-the-art digital healthcare facilities in the US. Our experience includes new construction as well as projects that integrate legacy facilities into new hospitals with the requirement for “no loss of service” to the operating facility throughout the construction process. Our expertise with mission critical processes and experience with healthcare accreditation requirements, privacy regulations and the application of new technologies makes us uniquely qualified to undertake the most complex healthcare commissioning challenges.
Some of our experience includes:
Ft. Belvoir Community HosBVPItal, Virginia

The care facilities are supported by a Central Utility Plant (CUP), which provides stable electrical power and HVAC services supporting the main hosBVPItal building and four clinical centers.
National IntreBVPId Center of Excellence (NICoE), Maryland
BVPI provided design review and commissioning services for this two-story, 75,000 sf facility which includes medical treatment and research, instructional and auditorium, data environment, and supporting MEP facilities. BVPI provided full life-cycle commissioning, including design phase, construction phase, and post construction phase commissioning. In addition, BVPI provided LEED™ enhanced building commissioning services for the HVAC systems and reliability commissioning to the power systems, which are supported by emergency power and UPS.
