Hospitals - Ebeye Hospital and Health Center, Marshall Islands
The adaptability of the Force 10 Engineered Building System has been proven many times throughout the world. Developers of the Ebeye Hospital and Health Center expressed two important reasons for choosing the Force 10 system : 1) the Force 10 system is ideal for construction in remote areas, and 2) Force 10 is engineered to withstand hurricanes and typhoons.
The component requirements for the Ebeye Hospital and Health Center were all manufactured at Force 10's Australian factory and shipped to Kwajalein Atoll by charter vessel in one shipment.
In just 10 weeks, all the structural work was complete and ready for sub-contractor internal fit out and external cement finish. This could not have been accomplished by conventional methods.
