OSHPD Services
Providing Everything You Need
Seismic Bracing and Anchorage (OPM Compliance)
California law requires that all "critical" infrastructure—including plumbing and medical gas lines—be secured with OSHPD Pre-approved Details (OPM). This ensures that during an earthquake, the pipes stay attached to the building and do not burst or fall.
-
The Service: We specialize in the installation of seismic sway braces, rod stiffeners, and concrete anchors that meet strict HCAI/OSHPD requirements.
-
Value: Essential for keeping hospitals operational during and after a seismic event.
Domestic Water
Sterilization & Chlorination
Before any new plumbing system in an OSHPD-regulated facility can be used, it must undergo a rigorous disinfection process to eliminate bacteria like Legionella. This requires a specific protocol of high-level chlorination and laboratory testing.
-
The Service: Comprehensive system flushing, hyper-chlorination, and documented bacteriological testing to ensure 100% sterile potable water lines.
-
Value: Prevents hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) and is required for the "Certificate of Occupancy."
Med-Gas Zone Valve Box Installation & Testing
In OSHPD facilities, medical gas systems must have accessible Zone Valve Boxes (ZVBs) in every ward. These allow staff to shut off gas to specific areas in an emergency. These boxes must be installed at exact heights and labeled with high-visibility signage.
-
The Service: Precision installation of multi-service zone valve boxes and downstream testing to ensure no cross-connection of life-support gases.
-
Value: Critical for life safety and fire code compliance in clinical environments.
