COMMERCIAL PROPOSAL
MECART’S MODULAR SYSTEM
Designed for the pharmaceutical industry – resistant to chemicals.
Panels are entirely prefabricated by Mecart in our plant (including all integration for mechanical and
electrical services).
SELF-SUPPORTING AND INDEPENDENT STRUCTURE
Mecart isolation rooms are designed to be fully independent
from the host building thanks to the integrated services in our
panels.
The panels also provide structural integrity.
No mezzanine or roof reinforcement is required to support
isolation room ceilings or mechanical equipment.

INTEGRATION OF SERVICES
WALLS
The cavity within our panels allows for the integration of mechanical conduits, electrical wiring, air
returns, and any other necessary services.
PRE-WIRING
Our panels are pre-wired during
manufacture:
• Power outlets and light switches
• Network and telephone connections
• Magnehelic and other environmental
monitoring systems
PRE-ENGINEERED ACCESS AND
CONTROL PANELS
• Gas (oxygen, nitrogen, etc.)
• Compressed air
• Purified water
BUILT-IN AIR RETURN
Air returns are installed in the wall or ceiling cavity

CEILINGS
HEPA filtration units, lighting, sprinkler heads, and other services are integrated directly into the ceiling
panels. Maintenance, such as servicing fixtures and cleaning HEPA filters, is done from the walkable
ceiling. This eliminates the need to enter the room, thereby minimizing the risk of contamination.
• Lights
• Sprinkler heads
• Air filtration
• Alarm system/Strobe lights
• Camera(s)
• Speaker/Intercom
• Other services
HVAC SYSTEM
Designed by our team to integrate standard components for your exact needs. This approach secures
the supply chain and guarantees delivery timelines especially in the context of the current market in
crisis.
• Custom design
• HEPA filters – supply and exhaust
• Negative and positive air pressure
• 100% fresh air or recirculated air as required

FULLY
PREFABRICATED
(PODS)
ASSEMBLY (2 OPTIONS)
POD is entirely pre-assembled in our plant and
delivered in one piece, or multiple pieces
• Complete POD including floor
• Lifting rings included for POD placement
PRE-ASSEMBLY AVAILABLE FOR ANY SIZE
• One piece (POD) – Up to 16’ wide and 50’
long
• Multiple pieces (POD) – PODs can be
combined to create larger buildings
PLUG & PLAY INSTALLATION
Almost as easy as plugging in a refrigerator!
Virtually no assembly required on site.
Panels that have been pre-wired for services are
assembled on site
• Electrical and mechanical services are
integrated into the panels during factory
manufacturing
• Work on site : HVAC, plumbing and finalizing
electricity
MINIMAL WORKPLACE DISRUPTION
The installation is clean and debris-free,
because there is no need for cutting or
adjustments required.
On-site disturbances common in standard
construction, such as dust generation, noise,
vibration and accidental damages, are minimized.
CAMLOCK SYSTEM
Wall panels are connected by integrated hooks. Once locked, the
surface of the joined panels is completely smooth with no irregularities.
This system is also practical during disassembly, allowing for quick and
easy room reconfigurations or relocations.
