OSHPD OPM

ISAT OSHPD OPM, Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI):

In California, the Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI), formerly known as the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD), is responsible for overseeing the construction of hospitals. HCAI ensures that hospital buildings adhere to safety standards and regulations, with a particular focus on seismic safety. By enforcing compliance with the California Building Code (CBC) and other relevant regulations, HCAI plays a crucial role in protecting the health and safety of patients, staff, and visitors in healthcare facilities across the state.

ISAT’s Pre-Approved Seismic Restraint System (OPM)

ISAT is one of the few companies with a seismic bracing system pre-approved by HCAI (OPM) for distributed mechanical piping, HVAC ducts, plumbing, process piping, electrical systems, and equipment. This pre-approved seismic manual provides a comprehensive library of HCAI-approved seismic restraint solutions for distributed MEPF systems and equipment. ISAT’s pre-engineered solutions address the most common seismic design conditions including engineered seismic restraint assemblies, hardware components and anchorage designs for structural connections. Utilizing ISAT’s Pre-Approved Seismic Restraint System (OPM) streamlines HCAI’s seismic design and review process while ensuring code compliance.

OSHPD OPM

ISAT’s HCAI (OSHPD) approved manuals have become the standard for engineers working with seismic requirements in California hospitals under HCAI (OSHPD) jurisdiction due to several key factors:

  • Comprehensive Solutions: ISAT’s manuals offer a wide range of pre-engineered solutions for common seismic design conditions related to nonstructural utilities, such as mechanical piping, HVAC ducts, plumbing, process piping, electrical systems, and equipment. This extensive coverage allows engineers to find appropriate solutions for various project requirements easily.
  • Streamlined Approval Process: By utilizing pre-approved seismic restraint systems from ISAT’s manuals, engineers can significantly reduce the time spent on the design and review process. These pre-engineered solutions have already been reviewed and approved by HCAI (OSHPD), which leads to faster project approvals and construction timelines.
  • Consistency and Quality: The use of ISAT’s HCAI (OSHPD) approved manuals ensures that engineers adhere to a consistent set of standards and best practices for seismic design in healthcare facilities. This consistency results in higher quality installations, ultimately contributing to the overall safety and resilience of California hospitals during seismic events.
  • Regulatory Compliance: ISAT’s manuals are specifically designed to comply with the California Building Code (CBC) and other relevant regulations enforced by HCAI (OSHPD). By adhering to these manuals, engineers can be confident that their designs will meet the stringent seismic requirements for healthcare facilities in California.
  • Ongoing Support and Expertise: ISAT offers ongoing support and technical expertise to engineers using their HCAI (OSHPD) approved manuals. This assistance can help address any questions or challenges that may arise during the design, installation, and inspection processes, ensuring a successful project outcome.
