Case Study of Rapid Construction of Composite Modular Hospital During Covid-19 Pandemic

CIVIL ENGINEERING

ABSTRACT- In areas where there was a major COVID-19 epidemic, one of the most successful ways to restrict and combat the pandemic was to swiftly construct emergency facilities. However, to compensate for the lack of legal norms and laws, such quick building megaprojects require more than a formal management structure to create organizational citizenship behavior among participants. In this research, various emergency hospitals built specifically for COVID-19 are used as case studies to develop a mechanism model and investigate the impact of the COVID-19 event's perceived strength on emergency megaproject citizenship behavior. Huoshenshan and Leishenshan, two specialty field hospitals, were developed, built, and commissioned in record fast to deal with the outbreak. The COVID-19 reaction has grown dependent on the rapid deployment of modular healthcare facilities. Emergency hospital projects have been commissioned by governments, and design for manufacture and assembly has played a critical role. An innovative public health concept is Fangcang shelter hospitals. They were first introduced in China in February 2020 in response to the COVID-19 epidemic of 2019. These hospitals in China were large-scale, temporary hospitals that were quickly constructed by transforming existing public venues into health-care facilities, such as stadiums and exposition centers. They provided medical treatment, illness monitoring, food, lodging, and social activities to patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 who were isolated from their relatives and communities. This paper provides empirical guidance for project managers on how to encourage community participation in emergency megaprojects through public emergency management in order to achieve project objectives.
