In any healthcare renovation or construction project, dust and airborne particles can create real risks for patients, staff, and facility operations. That’s why infection control is a critical part of every job—and why ICRA compliant containment walls are essential. These systems are designed to keep construction activity isolated from patient areas, helping facilities maintain safety and compliance without shutting down operations. If you’re a contractor, facility manager, or infection control specialist, here’s what you need to know about temporary wall systems that meet ICRA guidelines and help keep your project clean, safe, and on schedule.

What Does ICRA Mean in Healthcare Construction?

ICRA stands for Infection Control Risk Assessment—a framework used to evaluate and minimize infection risks during construction in occupied healthcare environments. Hospitals and medical facilities use ICRA to define project requirements such as physical barriers, airflow control, and negative pressure zones. Containment systems that meet Class IV or V standards are often required to isolate dust, debris, and airborne contaminants from patient care areas.

Why Temporary Walls Matter in ICRA Environments

During active construction in hospitals, clinics, or cleanrooms, plastic sheeting and drywall fall short of what’s needed. Temporary modular walls offer a cleaner, faster, and more sustainable solution. They create a sealed, floor-to-ceiling barrier that prevents dust migration, helps reduce noise, and maintains compliance with ICRA protocols—without the mess or labor of traditional methods.

What Makes a Containment Wall ICRA Compliant?

To meet Class IV and V ICRA requirements, a wall system must be:

• 
  
  
  
  • Made from cleanable, non-porous materials
  
  
  
  

• 
  
  
  
  • Airtight and sealed to the floor, ceiling, and walls
  
  
  
  

• 
  
  
  
  • Reusable to minimize waste
  
  
  
  

• 
  
  
  
  • Compatible with negative air machines or HEPA filters
  
  
  
  

• 
  
  
  
  • Durable enough to stay in place for days, weeks, or longer
  
  
  
  

• 
  
  
  
  • Designed to reduce labor and cleanup compared to drywall
  
  
  
  

• 
  
  
  
  • Faster to install, helping reduce construction timelines
  
  
  
  

• 
  
  
  
  • Helps facilities meet infection control policies without disrupting patient care
  
  
  
  

Many facilities also require that the wall system is easy to disinfect, especially in surgical areas or cleanroom environments.

When Should Contractors Use ICRA Class V Containment?

Class V ICRA containment is typically required during construction activities in high-risk areas like operating rooms, ICUs, or sterile processing departments. These projects often involve invasive procedures or environments where airborne contaminants can pose serious risks. Modular containment systems make it easier for contractors to comply with Class V protocols quickly—without relying on drywall or makeshift barriers. Our systems meet the standards while offering better flexibility, appearance, and cleanup.
