A looming 2030 seismic deadline in California could make key equipment lead times and prices even more strained than they already are.加州迫在眉睫的2030年抗震最后期限，可能会使关键设备的交货周期和价格比目前更加紧张。

Under the state’s seismic requirements, general acute care hospital buildings must meet standards by Jan. 1, 2030, to ensure they remain functional after an earthquake. These improvements focus on structural and nonstructural performance.根据该州的抗震要求，综合急性护理医院建筑必须在2030年1月1日前达到相关标准，以确保其在地震后仍能保持正常运转。这些改进侧重于结构和非结构性能。

The deadline is sparking demand for hospital upgrades and replacement projects, according to Suffolk Construction, a Boston-based contractor specializing in healthcare work. For construction teams, a push to upgrade healthcare builds could spell greater competition for equipment.据总部位于波士顿、专注于医疗建筑工程的承包商Suffolk Construction称，这一最后期限正引发医院升级改造和重建项目的需求。对于施工团队而言，医疗建筑升级热潮可能意味着设备竞争将更加激烈。

Here, Construction Dive spoke with Bobby Eagar, Suffolk’s senior vice president of Southern California healthcare and Orange County division manager, and Louis Martinelli, head of the contractor’s Freedom Source procurement team, about the deadline and challenges on healthcare builds in the region.在此，Construction Dive与Suffolk南加州医疗业务高级副总裁兼橙县分公司经理Bobby Eagar，以及该承包商Freedom Source采购团队负责人Louis Martinelli，就该最后期限及该地区医疗建筑面临的挑战进行了交流。

CONSTRUCTION DIVE: What is required to meet California’s seismic requirements? What happens if hospitals don’t meet them?CONSTRUCTION DIVE：要满足加州的抗震要求需要做些什么？如果医院未能达标会怎样？

BOBBY EAGAR: Buildings providing acute care must meet California’s structural and nonstructural seismic standards. Hospitals with buildings that fall short must retrofit or replace them, or remove acute care services from those facilities.BOBBY EAGAR：提供急性护理服务的建筑必须符合加州的结构和非结构抗震标准。拥有不达标建筑的医院必须对其进行改造或重建，或将急性护理服务从这些设施中移除。

Hospitals must also show progress toward compliance by submitting seismic compliance plans and obtaining building permits for work in the nonstructural performance category, or NPC. If a building does not meet the applicable requirements, the hospital may have to stop providing acute care services there.医院还必须通过提交抗震合规计划并取得非结构性能类别（即NPC）工程的施工许可证，来证明其在合规方面取得了进展。如果建筑不符合适用要求，医院可能不得不停止在该建筑内提供急性护理服务。

Hospitals that fail to meet California’s seismic requirements may no longer provide acute care services in noncompliant buildings and risk losing their license. State law requires the suspension or non-renewal of a hospital’s license following a notice of violation for noncompliance.未能满足加州抗震要求的医院，将不得继续在不合规建筑内提供急性护理服务，并面临执照被吊销的风险。州法律规定，医院在收到违规通知后如仍不合规，其执照将被暂停或不予续期。

How is the 2030 seismic deadline increasing demand for hospital construction? How is the industry handling it?2030年抗震最后期限如何推高了医院建设需求？行业又是如何应对的？

EAGAR: The 2030 deadline is definitely contributing to demand for hospital upgrades and replacement projects in California. Meeting the deadline will require early planning and close coordination with hospital teams, particularly when construction must happen while facilities remain open.EAGAR：2030 年的最后期限无疑推动了加利福尼亚州医院升级和重建项目的需求。要按期完成，需要及早规划并与医院团队密切协调，尤其是在设施必须保持开放的情况下进行施工时。

LOUIS MARTINELLI: From a market perspective, interest rates and financing conditions remain important factors in when major healthcare projects move from planning into active development. So, while the deadline is contributing to demand for upgrades and replacement projects, the timing of construction will depend in part on when those projects are funded and approved.LOUIS MARTINELLI：从市场角度来看，利率和融资条件仍然是影响大型医疗项目何时从规划进入实际开发阶段的重要因素。因此，尽管这一期限推动了升级和重建项目的需求，但施工时间在一定程度上将取决于这些项目何时获得资金和批准。

How are equipment lead items affecting project timelines?设备的长交货周期对项目工期有何影响？

MARTINELLI: They’re noticeably extending project schedules.MARTINELLI：它们明显延长了项目工期。

In California, projects also need to account for HCAI’s seismic compliance planning and review requirements, which can affect the overall schedule. Identifying equipment needs early and coordinating closely with suppliers gives teams more time to align procurement with those requirements and keep projects moving.在加利福尼亚州，项目还需要考虑 HCAI 的抗震合规规划和审查要求，这会影响整体工期。及早确定设备需求并与供应商密切协调，能让团队有更多时间使采购与这些要求保持一致，从而推动项目顺利进行。

EAGAR: A related concern is the additional pressure seismic work could put on the supply chain.EAGAR：一个相关的担忧是，抗震工程可能给供应链带来额外压力。

As these projects move forward alongside new hospital construction and infrastructure work, they may compete for some of the same equipment, further affecting availability and lead times. Our project and supply chain teams work together early to understand availability and evaluate options before those constraints affect the schedule.随着这些项目与新建医院和基础设施工程同时推进，它们可能会争夺部分相同的设备，从而进一步影响供货情况和交货周期。我们的项目团队与供应链团队及早协作，了解供货情况并评估各种方案，以免这些限制因素影响工期。

What are the biggest challenges on healthcare construction projects today?当今医疗建设项目面临的最大挑战是什么？

EAGAR: One major challenge is coordinating structural design with mechanical, electrical and plumbing requirements early in the process. When MEP needs are addressed later, teams may have to revisit structural solutions, creating schedule pressure.EAGAR：一大挑战是在流程早期协调结构设计与机械、电气和管道（MEP）要求。如果 MEP 需求到后期才处理，团队可能不得不重新调整结构方案，从而造成工期压力。

Long-lead equipment is another concern. On a case-by-case basis, we’re working with clients to consider releasing equipment during permitting when there is a low likelihood that the selection will change. That can allow procurement to begin earlier while managing the risk of ordering equipment before plans are sufficiently settled.长交货周期设备是另一个问题。我们正根据具体情况与客户合作，在设备选型不太可能变更的情况下，考虑在审批许可阶段就提前订购设备。这样可以在控制过早订购设备风险的同时，让采购更早启动。

What other trends in healthcare construction should contractors pay attention to?承包商还应关注医疗建筑领域的哪些其他趋势？

EAGAR: One trend to watch is how hospitals address buildings where a seismic upgrade may not be viable.EAGAR：一个值得关注的趋势是医院如何处理那些抗震升级可能不可行的建筑。

In those cases, a hospital may pursue a Removal of Acute Care Services project. That can still require work in the existing facility, such as addressing egress or separating mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems from the noncompliant building.在这些情况下，医院可能会开展“急症护理服务移除”（Removal of Acute Care Services）项目。这可能仍需要在现有设施中进行施工，例如解决疏散通道问题，或将机械、电气和管道系统与不合规建筑分离。

Whether a hospital pursues a seismic upgrade or a RACS pathway, the work can affect MEP systems, which may need to be rerouted or relocated, or supplemented with new equipment.无论医院选择抗震升级还是 RACS 路径，相关工作都可能影响 MEP 系统，这些系统可能需要改线或搬迁，或需要补充新设备。
