Installing a CT Scanner takes a lot of time and
planning. The last thing you want is for your
installation team to show up and the site is not
prepared and ready. The experts at Atlantis
Worldwide put together this information to help
you with your CT Scanner installation so
everything goes as smoothly as possible. It all
starts when you purchase your CT Scanner. Then
its time to create a timeline for installation.

1. Connect your architect with the CT Scanner
   seller. They will need to provide the
   architectural drawing of the space for the CT
   Scanner and equipment. The drawing should also
   show the delivery path, including corners, hall
   sizes and door openings.
2. Your CT Scanner Seller will create preliminary
   drawings of the room with the system installed in
   it. These will be submitted to you as well as the
   installing engineer for review.

1. Once all drawings have been approved by you and
   the engineer, final drawings will be created.
   These will include electrical connections, HVAC,
   plumbing and more.
2. During construction, the engineer should arrange
   for a site visit and answer any questions about
   set-up and discuss the project. Electricians,
   plumbers, contractors and HVAC technicians would
   attend the meeting as well.

1. Take photos throughout the construction process
   and provide them to your CT Scanner Seller.The
   Sellers engineer can look for potential issues
   with the build-out and determine a timeline for
   the date of delivery.
2. Once a firm date of completion has been
   established, the Seller will book a truck to
   deliver the CT Scanner to your site.
3. If any additional equipment is needed for the
   installation process (forklifts, pallet jacks,
   etc.), this should be arranged to coincide with
   the delivery date. The install crew should be
   ready to begin the install.

These steps will take weeks and month to
complete, especially since there are so many
different people involved in the process. But,
with careful planning and thorough communication,
you can have a stress-free installation process.
Here are a few more tips

• Create a master list of contacts for everyone
  involved in the project. Share with all involved
  parties so they can reach out to one another as
  needed.
• Do your planning via email whenever possible.
  Having things documented in writing provides a
  helpful reference if someone happens to forget
  part of a conversation.
• Be sure to copy all emails to all interested
  parties, including engineers, HVAC technicians,
  electricians, plumbers and more.
