Tata Units
COVID19 Pandemic struck the world in March 2020,
bringing about the realisation of the shortages in our
health infrastructure. The country needed solutions to
quickly ramp up the existing infrastructure. Identifying
this need, we promptly teamed up with our subsidiary
Ecofirst Services and designed a modular engineering
solution to quickly scale hospital facilities.
Each 30 Sqm. of the air-conditioned ‘Standard Tata
Unit’ (STU) accommodates five beds along with one
washroom. The design of the unit is such that it can
be altered, responding to the varying site conditions
and end requirements. The same modular unit can
be tweaked to become separate units/modules like
Isolation Wards, Quarantine Wards, and ICUs. These
modules can also be clustered together to work as a
full-fledged 300-bed makeshift medical facility. The
detailed engineering and designs were freely shared
with Tata Trust and other Tata companies, NGO’s and
government bodies to benefit the nation at large.
