Customer Background
A premium maternity and wellness center in Chongqing planned to introduce a professional hyperbaric chamber as part of its expanded wellness services.
The customer wanted equipment that would complement its modern interior while providing a quiet, comfortable environment for individual wellness sessions.
The chamber also needed to blend naturally into the center’s luxury design concept and operate reliably throughout daily commercial use.
However, installing a professional hyperbaric chamber inside the building presented an exceptional engineering challenge.
Installing a Hyperbaric Chamber on the 19th Floor
The project was located on the 19th floor of a commercial building. Several site restrictions made conventional installation impossible.
| Site Challenge | Impact |
|---|---|
| Small passenger elevator | Chamber could not be transported vertically |
| Narrow corridors | Large chamber sections could not pass through |
| No structural modifications permitted | Walls, doors and windows could not be altered |
| Large external cranes prohibited | Building management restricted heavy lifting equipment |
| Limited access space | Traditional installation methods were not feasible |
Several suppliers inspected the site but were unable to propose a practical installation solution. The customer required a system that could be delivered without damaging the building or delaying the opening schedule.
OXYHB Engineering Solution
Following a comprehensive site survey, OXYHB engineers designed a customized installation solution combining a lightweight modular chamber with a rooftop lifting operation.
Instead of using a conventional heavy steel chamber, OXYHB recommended a 1.9 ATA aluminum alloy clamshell hyperbaric chamber specifically engineered for projects requiring reduced transportation weight.
Lightweight Aluminum Alloy Chamber
The customized chamber offered several important advantages.
| Feature | Customer Benefit |
|---|---|
| Aerospace-grade aluminum alloy | Lightweight yet durable construction |
| Modular chamber structure | Easier transportation and assembly |
| Individual modules approximately 180 kg | Suitable for controlled rooftop lifting |
| 1.1–1.9 ATA operating pressure | Flexible pressure selection |
| Quiet operation | Suitable for premium wellness environments |
| Modern clamshell design | Matches contemporary interior spaces |
| Integrated climate control | Comfortable user environment |
The lightweight modular structure significantly reduced transportation complexity while maintaining reliable chamber performance.
Rooftop Hoisting Solution
Because large external cranes were not permitted, OXYHB developed a specialized rooftop lifting plan.
The project included:
Site Survey
Our engineering team measured the rooftop structure, window dimensions, indoor transportation routes, and installation space before manufacturing began.
Protective Packaging
Each chamber module was individually protected using shock-resistant materials and specialized lifting straps to help prevent surface damage during transportation.
Controlled Rooftop Lifting
A compact rooftop lifting system was used to lower each chamber module safely from the roof to the 19th-floor installation point.
The installation team inside the building carefully received every module before moving it into the wellness room.
Staff Training
Following commissioning, OXYHB engineers provided operational training covering:
- Chamber operation
- Daily startup procedures
- Routine inspection
- Cleaning and maintenance
- Standard operating procedures
- Basic troubleshooting
The customer was able to begin operating the chamber immediately after project completion.
Project Summary
This project demonstrates OXYHB’s engineering expertise in solving complex installation challenges for high-rise commercial buildings.
By combining a lightweight aluminum alloy modular chamber with a customized rooftop lifting solution, OXYHB successfully installed a 1.9 ATA clamshell hyperbaric chamber on the 19th floor without structural modifications or heavy external lifting equipment.
For maternity centers, wellness facilities, private clinics, luxury spas, and commercial projects with challenging access conditions, OXYHB delivers customized hyperbaric chamber solutions designed to meet both engineering requirements and long-term operational needs.
