This project included the new addition of a 3,003 SF utility canopy connecting the hospital to the central plant to house new utilities. These utilities included the chilled water, heating hot water, steam, domestic water, fire suppression piping and medical gas systems. In addition to the canopy, this contract included the construction of an 861 SF shop addition to the Central Plant and a 544 SF architectural “bump-out” of the main building to accommodate the new utility drops in the main medical tower’s mechanical room. The new canopy had to be engineered to support the structural load of the relocated utilities as well as being able to blend into the existing campus and city architectural requirements.
This project was phased to allow the switch over from the existing utilities to the relocated utilities using temporary feeds and backup systems to ensure that this Level 1 Trauma Center remained in operation at all times.
Briston workforce completed all mechanical scopes including all steam, chilled water, heating hot water, and domestic water fabrication and process piping on this project.
