A GUIDE TO COVID-19 HEALTHCARE FACILITY DESIGN The first confirmed case of COVID-19 infection in South Africa was announced by the National Institute of Communicable Diseases on March 5th 2020. South Africa’s government commendably took early action on an array of social distancing initiatives starting on March 16th. The results are very hopeful and it appears that the country has bought enough time to prepare for the coming months when the reintroduction of the virus into communities is expected as the lockdown is eased. The overall goal is to be sufficiently prepared by the time economic activities resume to quickly and aggressively trace and test potential contacts while treating infected individuals in COVID-19 facilities without overwhelming the existing fragile healthcare system. This will require expansion of COVID- 19 healthcare facilities in South Africa and the region.
2
There are two main areas of design for COVID-19 healthcare facilities. Triage areas – All points of access to the health system, including clinics, hospital casualty departments and new or repurposed facilities should have properly designed screening and triage areas at the entry point to identify patients with respiratory symptoms and triage accordingly. Ward areas – Confirmed cases of COVID-19 may have to stay in the facility for observation or critical care. The wards are carefully designed zones where patients are separated into risk cohort groups and cared for. Design Overview The design and construction of these facilities must take the specific nature of the pandemic into account. The ventilation and spatial requirements, method of construction and materials
used must be aligned with the specific nature of the virus and its mode of transmission. There are three modes of transmission possible. The first, and most common, is inhalation or contact of mucous membranes (such as the eyes) with respiratory droplets generated when an infected person sneezes or coughs. The second is transfer of the virus indirectly from an infected person to an object, and from that contaminated object to a host. Finally, airborne transmission can occur in medical settings following aerosolizing procedures such as tracheal intubation, nasal swabbing or aspiration of secretions. This means that there are four key dimensions of design. Ventilation – There is a need to design
VOLUME 44 EDITION 2 – 2020
well ventilated facilities that can be constructed very quickly to accommodate the anticipated surge in patient numbers. Cleanable – Moreover, an important design criterion is the use of easily cleanable materials for the construction of walls, floors, fixtures and furniture in the portions of the buildings that are in close proximity to COVID-19 patients. Patient care equipment is particularly difficult to clean and requires special attention in design. Distancing – It is also critical when designing such health facilities that healthcare workers and support staff without proper PPE be separated from infected patients. The patients with mild symptoms should also be kept away from those who are in critical condition. Flow – Areas where patients with COVID-19 symptoms enter the health facility for testing and triage must be designed so as to avoid mixing unconfirmed cases with others. The correct flow design to help separate clean zones from those that may carry the virus should help to minimize infections as well as minimize the use of PPE. A review of best practice from around the world indicates that there are four possibilities for the construction of COVID-19 health facilities.
Existing hospitals and healthcare centres – The most obvious place to install such a facility is in existing hospitals and healthcare centres which are reconfigured for COVID-19. Existing public buildings – The shortage of existing hospital space – especially in township areas – may mean that adaptive reuse of other public facilities like schools and universities is inevitable. New field hospitals – Alternatively, new COVID-19 hospitals that comply with WHO guidelines can be constructed using quick construction methods. Modular units – Finally, modular self-contained units can be manufactured and shipped where needed. This is where the capabilities of a skilled South African engineering, manufacturing and construction sector can come into play. Modifying existing hospitals and healthcare centres will require intelligent design of demountable fencing, floor, wall and roof systems that come ready with all ventilation, plumbing and electrical systems pre-installed.
New field hospitals can be designed in such a way that they can be used for low-cost housing or other social good after the pandemic. The potential for factory-built and self-contained health care units that can be shipped to hospitals, and even residential areas, is immense. Such modular construction can allow the reuse of these units in areas where they are most required as patient numbers change and the location of the patient surge moves across the country and continent over time.
A full copy of the COVID-19 Healthcare Facility Design Guide is available to download free of charge at: https://bit.ly/Covid-19DesignGuide
The document aims to provide guidance to government bodies and others who are in the business of responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal of this guide is to expose readers to economical options for rapid deployment of COVID-19 healthcare facilities in compliance with the WHO 2020 COVID-19 SARI TREATMENT CENTRE GUIDELINES.
The same is true when planning to reconfigure existing schools, hotels and other public buildings to respond to the pandemic.

MEMBER VIEWS NICOLETTE SKJOLDHAMMER, MANAGING DIRECTOR, BETTERECT
SUPPORTING TEAM AFRICA
The strongest link is local: Africa must support African supply chains to unlock sustained economic growth The current Covid19-related economic challenges both locally and throughout the Africa starkly highlight the need for pan-African companies and governments to support African supply chains, and in so doing, to boost economic activity on the continent. This can be achieved by procuring the production of goods and services for infrastructure and industrial projects via the mechanism of ‘Team Africa’, which is a concept in which local suppliers and manufacturers collaboratively supply mining, industrial, power generation and other sector projects. “Covid-19 provides further impetus for Africa to support its own supply chains which will stimulate business in a myriad of upstream and downstream supply chains,” says Nicolette Skjoldhammer, Managing Director of South African steel fabricator and erector Betterect.
4
which industrial supply chains on the continent can collaboratively drive growth, is when companies focusing on the supply, processing, fabrication and erection of steel structures join forces to deliver pan-African infrastructure projects in the mining, power generation, petrochemical and other industries. “These companies are able form a cooperative and synergistic ‘Team Africa’, which supplies and processes the steel, or fabricates and installs the finished steel structures,” she explains. “South Africa and its counterparts like Nigeria and Ghana certainly have the expertise to successfully undertake the design, fabrication and installation of large steel structures throughout the continent. We have not only proven this over years of successfully participating in new and expansionary mining, power generation and other infrastructure projects; but also by supplying the core expertise in large structural steel projects under the auspices of European and Asian companies,” says Skjoldhammer.
“While the new intra-African trade agreement provides opportunities and incentives for African stakeholders to procure from local businesses, the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic have shown industry just how dependent Africa has become on the Asian supply of goods and services, and prices of Asian consumables – to name but one supply chain item among many - are rising exponentially,” she advises.
“In fact, if you peel away the various levels of project supply, frequently you will find that South African and African expertise and capabilities remain at the core,” she asserts. What is admittedly still standing in the way of opportunities for ‘Team Africa’ to grow its business on the continent is the perception that Asian goods and services are more cost-effective than those locally available; and the fact that project financing is often provided by Asian companies. However, according to Skjoldhammer, the truth of the matter is that when potential clients and their estimators look at sourcing costs, they often do not consider the cost of a fully erected steel fabrication project, for example.
Skjoldhammer says that one of the ways in
“Our experience has shown us that equipment fabricated in
VOLUME 44 EDITION 2 – 2020
China is on average about 30% more expensive on landing in Africa; and approximately 20% more expensive at this point when it is imported from Turkey,” she comments. The goal, says Skjoldhammer, is for African companies to be instrumental in growing the local and pan-African market for African companies –- and thereby set up a virtuous cycle of stimulated economic growth throughout the continent. “To achieve this aim, companies and stakeholders must identify their own ‘Team Africa’ to collaboratively participate in projects during the conceptual and design stages thereof. However, she points out, when it comes to the procurement criteria in the context of Team Africa, it is more a question of ‘dangling a carrot’ than ‘waving a stick’ as requirements to include local content often hamper the undertaking of new projects. “The intra-African trade agreement is evidence that key stakeholders are already thinking and engaging along the lines of procurement in terms of a ‘Team Africa’ concept and mechanism. Furthermore, ACFTA’S current implementation means that pan-African countries will not pay tariffs when they trade with each other.” There are still various logistical obstacles to working in African countries, such as moving equipment and fabricated structures across borders, dealing with customs ‘red tape’ and delays, and obtaining the necessary permits to work in-country. However, the intra-African trade agreement is geared to address some of these challenges, such as improving inadequate transport infrastructure, and this could also help to get more projects off the ground.
“However, for ‘Team Africa’ to thrive, only a few African countries need to support the ‘Team Africa’ supply chain. The rest will soon follow,” she asserts. “The company that I lead recently formed a ‘Team Africa’ alliance with a steel supplier and processor, to supply a Zimbabwean gold mining operation with large steel tanks for a processing plant. This highly successful collaboration and synergistic project demonstrates that there is no limit to what a ‘Team Africa’ can do. The knowledge and experience in industry is such that we can deliver any project throughout the continent. African companies and countries must take the long-term view of ‘sowing the seeds for the future’: supporting one another, combining their resources, skills and experience to realise this amazing and well-timed opportunity to transform our continent into an economic powerhouse,” Skjoldhammer concludes.

Skjoldhammer explains: “Undertaking more projects on the continent will create and drive the core growth that in turn generates further growth. The use of the African supply chain for projects across Africa will open up an even deeper supply chain on the continent: from, for example, a local steel fabricator buying locally-rolled steel, to the support industries which specialise in galvanising, corrosion-protecting and painting that steel, and the range of businesses both up and-downstream in the supply chain which support the steel fabricator with telecommunications, IT, transport and a host of other items such as PPE (personal protective equipment) and stationery.” She concedes that continent as a whole also still faces challenges such as corruption and – in certain countries political instability which may hinder efforts to bolster the local supply chain.
Nicolette Skjoldhammer is the Chairwoman of the Board of Directors for the SAISC. She is a qualified chemical engineer and obtained her degree from the University of the Witwatersrand. After completing her degree, Nicolette joined Betterect in 2008 as the Sales and Marketing Manager and in 2011 was promoted to Managing Director. She is responsible for the overall management of Betterect as well as being responsible for costing and tender submissions. Together with Betterect’s Technical Director, David Jordan, Nicolette oversees fabrication and site installation operations and liaises with clients to ensure that their expectations are met and exceeded.

NATIONAL STANDARDS IN AFRICA
With the establishment of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) in May 2019 to date all but Eritrea of the fifty five members of the African Union (AU) have signed the agreement and twenty nine members have signed and ratified their participation. As can be seen on the map these countries in the main are mainly former British and French colonies. Whilst most of these countries have some form of national standards they are based to a large extent on the BS and EN standards with the scattering of SANS standards. When it comes to the development of infrastructure and mineral resources the national standards are largely supplanted by the standards of the corporation and/or country financing the venture. A further aspect is that there are eight regional economic communities including SADC recognized by the AU and a further six regional economic cooperation bodies not recognized by the AU including SACU. Several of these bodies have a mismatch of their own standards as well as overlaps in their membership. A little known fact is that in 1977 the AU and the UN Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) established the African Organization for
6
Standardization (ARSO) within twenty one member states. Membership now comprises thirty nine members including the RSA who are represented by the SABS. ARSO attained observer membership in the WTO TBT Committee in November 2015. To date they have published standards for iron and steel products, fasteners plus construction materials and buildings, in addition they have established a regional certification system for quality and promotion of African products. Part of the ARSO mandate is to: •
•
•
•
harmonize national and/or subregional standards as African Standards and issue necessary recommendations to member bodies for this purpose initiate and co-ordinate the development of African Standards (ARS) with references to products which are of peculiar interest to Africa encourage and facilitate adoption of international standards by member states co-ordinate the views of its members at the ISO, IEC, OIML, Codex and other international organisations concerned with standardisation activities.
Although the SABS is an active participant at ARSO we have not been able to ascertain how they intend harmonizing the SANS standards with those of ARSO. Currently the SABS is favoring the adoption of ISO standards over EN and ASTM and discourage the adoption from other countries such as Australia and Canada. Another problem is a large number of SANS standards are long overdue for review, the current practice is to arbitrarily reaffirm standards, mainly due to dysfunctional technical committees which are comprised of a small number of members resulting in a constricted field of expertise. Some workgroups are comprised of members of a single industry, never a healthy situation. There are a number of foreign companies who have established local subsidiaries pushing for the adoption of the standards in their country of origin rather than complying with existing SANS standards. Clearly there is a need for industry to be aware of these circumstances but more importantly to ensure they ardently support their representative associations to participate on the SABS technical committees during this transitionary period.

TRAINING TO ‘FRAME’: SASFA’S POPULAR LSFB TRAINING COURSE Light steel frame building (LSFB) could become even more popular in South Africa than it already is, if local suppliers and builders are sufficiently well-trained and equipped to consistently produce quality light steel frame buildings. For this reason, the Southern African Light Steel Frame Building Association (SASFA) offers a tailored five-day training course for builders, architects, engineers and quantity surveyors. The course covers the basic components of the light steel frame building process, including the rationale for LSFB building requirements. Students graduate with a thorough understanding thereof, as well as the ability to erect a simple steel structure, and know enough to be able to plan
and supervise the cladding and lining aspects. They will also complete the course with an understanding of the building code (SANS 517).
understanding of the principles of this type of alternative building method - or a lack of training – or both,” Barnard advises.
According to John Barnard, Director of SASFA, role players must be formally trained and construction undertaken by competent light steel frame builders, in order to ensure consistently high standards and good quality work. Light steel frame building is growing in popularity in South Africa, notwithstanding the fact that it is still a relatively new building technique locally.
“Builders sometimes strive to do better than the norm and make mistakes in the process. Others believe that light steel frame building is simple and that they can apply the method without any training.
“To this point, SASFA has come across inadequate quality and standards on some light steel frame projects, which could be attributed to a poor
In fact, it is only through formal training and working with competent LSF builders that consistently good quality and high standards can be achieved,” he points out. He adds that the design consultants (architects, engineers and quantity surveyors) also need to know and understand the materials used - and the LSF building process - to be able to design, plan and supervise an LSF building project. The SASFA training course comprises of two sections covering • steel frame materials, components and building; and • internal lining, external cladding and insulation. The frame section is presented by engineers; and Marley Building Systems provides the instruction in the cladding and lining section.

The training course is unique, as similar courses are not readily available overseas or locally. “We have had a number of attendees from overseas (Brazil, United Kingdom, Australia and sub-Saharan Africa) attend our course,” Barnard comments. “During the first phase of training, participants are introduced to light steel frame building, the steelmaking process and the properties of coated steel sheets,” he explains. “They are also made aware of the requirements for throwing foundations, manufacturing of light steel frames and trusses, construction tools, wall frame setout, handling of materials, loads on buildings, floor framing, wall framing, roof structures; as well as the planning and the installation of services.” The second stage of training covers glass wool insulation: from properties, manufacturing and benefits to energy efficiency, environmental issues, storage and handling and installation methodology. It also includes a component on gypsum plasterboard, which covers properties, storage and handling, cutting, tools and application for walls, ceilings and finishing. There is also a module on fibre cement board for external cladding. “This section covers the installation of the vapour permeable membrane, the sizes and availability of fibre cement boards and planks, fixing accessories, installation guidelines; and door and window frame installation,” elaborates Barnard. Furthermore, the course includes a practical component to ensure that participants have a thorough understanding of theoretical concepts. “Participants have the opportunity to set out wall frames, square, level and build wall panels, erect roof trusses, install external cladding, complete insulation and internal lining with gypsum boards, and do internal joint finishing,” he explains. “Past attendees have found the course to be very valuable. It ultimately prepares contractors to build steel structures; as well as to plan and supervise the cladding and lining of these structures. In addition, the contractors and design consultants also gain an understanding of the SANS 517 building code.” Certification Attendees receive a certificate of successful completion if they are successful in an open book test given at the end of the course. The certificate confirms their mastery of the course content, and their understanding of light steel frame building techniques.

Barnard adds that SASFA requires applicants for builder membership of the association to have completed the LSFB training course for building contractors. He explains: “Those who specify light steel frame building must understand that it is important that their building contractor has been formally trained, and has practical experience in this field. We have had some incidences where we had to ask SASFA members to rectify and complete light steel frame projects which were poorly executed by untrained contractors,” says Barnard. SASFA has also developed a 1-day course on the SANS 517 building code, and compiled a 1-day course on thin gauge cold-formed steel design in association with the University of Stellenbosch. Speaking specifically to the LSFB training offered, he concludes: “Our training course ensures that design consultants and builders have the right knowledge of the requisite materials and of the light steel frame building process. This enables them to plan, design, supervise and build LSF projects of excellent quality. In this way, we are ensuring the growth of this exciting and innovative industry sector. We are furthermore planning to present this course online to bypass the restrictions necessitated by Covid-19,” he concludes.
