Georgia Trade School helps produce quarantine containers

Georgia Trade School graduates are helping to produce quarantine containers to be installed at a hospital in Georgia.

The school’s employer partner, Bmarko Structures, was contracted by the Georgia Emergency Management Agency to build an auxiliary hospital in just one month from scratch to completion. Georgia Trade School graduates were sourced from all over the country, with many available because of layoffs from the COVID-19 virus.

Nearly 20 graduates currently are working on quarantine containers to be installed at the Phoebe Putney North Campus Hospital in Albany, Ga. This 24-patient-room hospital will serve as an auxiliary overflow medical facility. Each container will hold two patients, with each room using its own air system. The first section of the project is nearing completion at Bmarko Structures in Lawrenceville, Ga. After the containers are built, they will be installed on-site by Choate Construction.
