SHIELD WALL® INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS

Healthcare

The preferred solution for leading healthcare experts.

Due to the sensitive nature of healthcare environments, controlling the spread of dust and other potentially harmful pathogens during occupied construction is critical to preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Regardless of the scope of the project, even the simplest tasks must be performed without disrupting patients, caregivers, staff, and visitors. 

Depended on by leading healthcare experts and contractors across North America, Abatement Technologies is a trusted provider of high-quality, reusable temporary wall systems that are code compliant for CSA 7.3.3.2 and ICRA compliant to meet ASTM E119, ASTM E84, NFPA 241, and IBC requirements. 

Meeting ICRA Standards - Complying with the standards of infection control. 

Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) guidelines set the standards to prevent environment-associated infection in healthcare facilities during construction and renovations within patient occupied spaces. Temporary containment solutions compatible with negative air provide airtight barriers that align with ICRA 2.0 guidelines for healthcare construction projects. 

Abatement Technologies' SHIELD WALL™ containment solutions, along with HEPA-filtered air scrubbers and additional particle control products, are used to effectively isolate, capture and control airborne dust particles and pathogens. Our cost-effective, time-saving products are used by contractors and maintenance departments in thousands of healthcare facilities to protect sensitive patients and employees from exposure to construction particles that can potentially transmit airborne infectious diseases.

Office Spaces

Minimize Disruption During Commercial Renovations.

SHIELD WALL temporary walls offer the perfect solution for commercial construction and renovations, where isolating occupied spaces is essential. The walls are quick to install and remove, and their reusability ensures cost savings after just 3-5 uses, effectively reducing future containment expenses.

These walls are widely used in various commercial sectors, including office spaces, airports, educational institutions, life sciences/biotech, data centers, and hospitality. CORE Panels provide exceptional sound attenuation, durability, stability, and a real-wall appearance, all while ensuring quick and quiet installation with minimal disruption. Classic and CONNECT walls offer a lightweight, durable, and cost-effective solution, ideal for projects requiring frequent reconfiguration or to complement existing setups.

In addition to their functional benefits, our temporary walls don’t just make the work zone inaccessible — they make it disappear. These attractive, sustainable barriers present a smooth, finished-look wall that completely hides ongoing renovations while keeping dust, debris, and excess noise out of occupied areas. They also support customizations such as vibrant vinyl graphics to promote the updated space once construction is complete.

Airports

Streamlined Renovations for Smooth Travels.

Airports are bustling hubs of activity, where maintaining order and safety during renovations is crucial. SHIELD WALL™ provides an ideal solution by offering a clean and professional barrier that effectively contains dust and debris, ensuring travelers remain unaffected by the construction work.

Additionally, SHIELD WALL™ panels can be easily customized with graphics and signage, helping to direct passenger flow and reduce confusion during renovations. This adaptability allows airports to maintain a seamless travel experience, guiding passengers efficiently through temporary detours or new pathways while keeping construction areas out of sight and mind.

Retail Spaces

Transforming Renovations into Seamless Shopping Experiences.

In retail environments, maintaining a pleasant shopping experience is essential, even during renovations. SHIELD WALL™ helps achieve this by providing a clean and professional barrier that effectively contains dust, debris, and noise. This ensures that shoppers are not disturbed by construction activities and can continue to enjoy their visit. The attractive appearance of SHIELD WALL™ panels helps maintain the mall's aesthetic appeal, preventing the construction areas from becoming eyesores.

Additionally, SHIELD WALL™ panels can be customized with promotional graphics or advertisements, turning construction barriers into opportunities for marketing. This dual functionality not only enhances the shopping environment but also provides retailers with a platform to communicate with customers. The ease of installation and reusability of SHIELD WALL™ makes it an economical and environmentally friendly solution for retail renovations.

Hospitality

Keep Serving, Even During Renovations.

Renovations in hospitality and restaurant settings often necessitate closing off sections of the establishment, leading to a potential loss of revenue and inconvenience for guests. Traditional construction methods can create significant dust and noise, further disrupting the dining or hospitality experience.

The customizable panels can also be tailored to match the décor, ensuring the renovation area blends seamlessly with the rest of the establishment, maintaining an attractive and inviting atmosphere for customers.

Education

Ensuring Safe Learning Environments During Construction.

Construction in educational institutions presents unique challenges, as the safety and well-being of students and staff are paramount. The presence of dust, debris, and noise can disrupt the learning environment, potentially impacting the health and academic performance of students. Ensuring minimal disruption to the educational process while maintaining a safe and clean environment is a critical concern during renovation projects.

SHIELD WALL™ addresses these challenges by providing a secure barrier that effectively contains construction dust and debris, safeguarding students and staff from potential hazards.
