Houston Hospital Renovation: HEPA Vacuum Inside an ICRA Class IV Barrier

Project scenario

A Houston healthcare GC renovates an interior wing two corridors away from an active oncology unit.

Dust challenge

Disturbed ceiling cavity dust and demo fines, with documented Aspergillus risk to adjacent patients.

Site constraint

ICRA Class IV barrier, anteroom, negative-air machine, infection-control rounds twice per shift.

Why a HEPA vacuum was selected

Standard vacuums would breach Class IV expectations. The Protector provides H14 HEPA capture plus sealed bag-change.

Suggested vacuum setup

Dirt Eater Protector inside containment, Dirt Eater Jr staged outside anteroom for corridor finish work, negative-air machine in parallel.

Practical workflow

Vacuum only inside containment, exterior wipe-down before exit, bag-change inside containment, equipment log filed with ICRA documentation.

Safety & compliance note: ICRA compliance belongs to the contractor and facility infection-control team. Equipment supports the plan; it does not replace it.

This is a typical project scenario used to illustrate how HireAVac equipment is deployed. Not a guarantee of results or compliance.
