HZD - HEART CENTER AT THE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL CARL GUSTAV CARUS OF THE TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF DRESDEN

The building of the Heart Center at the Dresden University Hospital was built between 1995 and 1997 as a cardiovascular center. Since 2002 it has been operated as a heart center by Sana-Kliniken AG.

The original permit dates from 1995. At that time, there were other legal bases (KrhBauR). The building inspectorate identified a specific risk to the protection target in the area of third-party rescue in the heart center. The urgently required plans to eliminate the risk are being fleshed out in comprehensive, cross-trade measures to optimize preventive fire protection.

Fire protection upgrades were planned and carried out, which are divided into measures for fire protection repairs and measures for hazard elimination. The implementation takes place in 35 construction areas during ongoing operations. The measure is characterized by a high level of organizational and technical coordination in close coordination with the user's requirements.

The clinic has various highly sensitive medical areas. Seriously ill people are treated and cared for.
