HEALTHCARE
New Construction, Remodels & Planned Maintenance
Healthcare facilities require electrical systems designed and installed to the highest standards of safety, reliability, and performance. At Welburn Electric, we specialize in electrical services for healthcare environments, including new construction, renovations, and planned maintenance. Our team understands the unique codes, building practices, and operational demands that healthcare facilities require to support patient care and life-safety systems.
From active hospitals and clinics to imaging suites and specialty care spaces, we coordinate closely with owners, engineers, and construction teams to deliver electrical systems that meet strict regulatory requirements while minimizing disruption to ongoing operations.
Healthcare-Specific Codes & Building Practices
Electrical work in healthcare environments is governed by specialized codes and standards that require experience and precision. Welburn Electric performs healthcare work with a thorough understanding of applicable regulations and best practices, including:
-
NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code), with emphasis on healthcare occupancies
-
NFPA 99 (Health Care Facilities Code)
-
NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code)
-
Requirements for essential electrical systems and branch separation
-
Infection control risk assessment (ICRA) coordination
-
Proper grounding and bonding practices for patient care areas
-
Documentation, labeling, and inspection requirements
Our familiarity with these codes allows us to deliver compliant installations that support safety, inspections, and long-term facility operation.
