Airkey has successfully built a complete modular clinic in Cambodia featuring an ISO 7 operating theatre with an ISO 5 laminar flow zone. Prefabricated components enabled rapid 20-day installation by local workers, showcasing a fast, efficient turnkey medical facility solution.
Expanding access to modern surgical care requires not just medical expertise but also advanced, rapidly deployable infrastructure. Airkey, a pioneering modular cleanroom manufacturer in China, is proud to announce the successful completion of a prefabricated clinic in Cambodia. This 81-square-meter facility, which includes a general surgery operating theatre, demonstrates how innovative modular construction can accelerate the establishment of high-standard medical environments anywhere in the world.
The project was delivered in an astonishingly short timeframe, with the operating theatre fully operational just 20 days after the start of on-site installation, all achieved with a local crew new to clinic construction.
Project Overview: A Compact, High-Performance Medical Facility
Project Type: Turnkey modular clinic and operating room.
Total Area: 81 square meters.
Key Rooms: General surgery operating theatre, doctor’s room, clean corridor, patient’s passage.
Cleanroom Standards: Operating theatre ISO 7 (Class 10,000) with an ISO 5 (Class 100) laminar flow ceiling over the critical operating area.
Environmental Control: Stable temperature control maintained between 21–27°C across all rooms.
Precision Engineering for Surgical Excellence
Airkey's design incorporated critical features essential for patient safety and surgical success.
Laminar Flow Technology: The ISO 5 laminar flow ceiling in the operating area creates continuous, ultraclean downward airflow, protecting the surgical site from airborne contaminants.
Cascading Pressure Differentials: To prevent the ingress of contaminants, the facility was designed with a strict pressure cascade:
Operating Theatre: +20 Pa (highest pressure)
Other Areas: +10 Pa or +5 Pa
This cleanroom pressure control is vital for infection control in hospitals.
The Airkey Modular Advantage: Unmatched Speed and Precision
The cornerstone of this project's success was Airkey's prefabricated cleanroom methodology. Unlike traditional construction, every component was engineered and manufactured in the factory.
Fully Customized Components: Wall structures, the instrument cabinet, medicine cabinet and anaesthesia cabinet were all precision-engineered to interlock seamlessly on-site without the need for cutting or modification.
Integrated Service Panels: The socket panel and medical gas panel were supplied as finished products, designed for direct integration with wall panels, eliminating on-site fabrication and ensuring a perfect fit.
Plug-and-Play Installation: This plug-and-play approach drastically reduces construction complexity, waste and time.
Achieving the Impossible: 20-Day Commissioning with an Inexperienced Crew
The most remarkable testament to the efficiency of the modular clinic system was the installation phase. Airkey dispatched a single engineer for supervision, who led a team of five local Cambodian workers with no prior experience in building a medical facility. Despite this, the entire clinic — from unpacking to a fully commissioned and running operating room — was completed in only 20 days. This demonstrates that the systems are not only fast but also user-friendly and easy to deploy, even in regions with specialised labour shortages.
