Installation

· Reading Time: 1 minute

In 2008, we began the journey towards becoming a lean company. One of its primary areas of focus has been the installation phase of our work. The area where we noticed a significant potential for improved efficiency was in the fabrication and installation of hospital headwall designs. Our experience with “piecemeal” hospital headwall units revealed a major opportunity for improved coordination. All the while, a condensed construction schedule and mitigation of lead times was the ultimate goal in an effort to reduce downtime and interruptions in patient care.

The forWard headwall is not surface mounted like many other brands on the market today. When placed back-to-back, the panels fit inside a 4 ⅞” wall cavity, eliminating the need to use 6” studs and saving as much as 1 1/8” of square footage. The average forWard headwall can be installed in under 30 minutes!
