Proposed Hospital, Satara

A proposed hospital at Satara, with 2,658 sq m of construction on a 1,974 sq m plot between a 12 m and a 6 m road. The ground floor holds the reception, OPD, ultrasound, blood collection and NST rooms, a medical store and a cafeteria; the first floor patient rooms and two general wards; the second floor the ICU, HDU, major and minor operating theatres with a sterile corridor, scrub bays and sterilization, and the labour and recovery rooms; the third floor more patient rooms, an IVF room with cryo storage, and a yoga and garbh sanskar room - 54 beds in all, served by three lifts, one of them a stretcher lift. A private residence on the fourth and fifth floors and a terrace with a pool, spa and sauna sit above the hospital. A hospital this size runs operating theatres, an ICU and an IVF lab under one roof, so the power, backup, medical gas and water have to be planned room by room. The architecture is the architect's; our scope is the MEPF design.

We prepared the water and load calculations, with a medical equipment load list for every room, in January 2026, and the external and internal MEP services layouts from 22 January, revised to R3 by 7 February 2026 as the plans and the client's comments came in. Power: lighting and fans for each floor, computers, 70 kW of medical equipment - 12 kW for the ICU, 10 kW for the major OT, 6 kW each for the minor OT, the autoclave and the HDU, 5 kW for the IVF room - the HVAC, a heat pump for hot water, the lifts, the pumps and the residence add up to 230 kW connected and about 149 kW of maximum demand; a 200 kVA DG set backs up the whole building, and a 20 kVA UPS with 15 minutes of backup carries the lighting, computers and AV systems. Every hospital floor has its own electrical and LV duct, a fire duct and a medical gas (MGPS) duct, with cable trays for power and LV and the cutouts, sunk floors and service slabs marked on each plan. Water: about 32 kL a day - 340 litres for each bed, with visitors, doctors' rooms and 10 kL for the kitchen and laundry - stored in a 37 kL domestic, 8 kL flushing and 150 kL fire tank below ground and a 25 kL domestic, 8 kL flushing and 20 kL fire tank on the terrace, with sewage to a 30 KLD septic tank; the DG set, panel room, pump room and tanks are placed on the external layout.
