Hospitals, clinics and imaging

Healthcare electrical contractor for hospitals and clinics

Tapps Electric builds electrical systems for hospitals, emergency departments, imaging suites and outpatient clinics. Our healthcare work includes the Virginia Mason Franciscan Health freestanding emergency department in Port Orchard, St. Joseph Medical Center in Tacoma and a CT renovation for VA Puget Sound.

Healthcare electrical work is different. Essential electrical systems, patient care area grounding, isolated power and infection control all change how the job is planned and installed. We bring crews who have done it before.

Healthcare electrical scope

  • Essential electrical systems: life safety, critical and equipment branches
  • Generators, automatic transfer switches and paralleling connections
  • Patient care area wiring and hospital grade devices
  • Power for CT, MRI, X-ray and other imaging equipment
  • Nurse call and medical equipment pathways
  • Operating and procedure room power
  • Phased renovations inside occupied hospitals
  • Shutdown planning with facility engineering

Working inside an occupied hospital

When the building is treating patients, every shutdown and every ceiling tile matters. We plan outages with facility engineering, follow infection control risk assessment requirements, keep work areas contained and schedule around clinical operations. The work gets done without the hospital having to stop.

Imaging and equipment power

Imaging suites come with vendor power requirements that have to be met exactly. We coordinate with the equipment vendor drawings, install dedicated feeders and disconnects, and support the vendor through startup.
