The new facility provides 840,000 square feet of new diagnostic, treatment and patient care spaces. Thirty-nine new rooms designed for surgery and interventional procedures increase the hospital’s ability to deliver efficient state-of-the-art surgical/interventional care.
The 348 single-occupancy patient rooms throughout the facility improve patient outcomes and create an environment for family-centered care. In addition, a 20,000-square-foot central utility plant West of Downing Street provides emergency power, chilled water and steam for the new facilities.

Project Challenges

This project presented several challenges that are common for downtown construction projects. Strict construction work hours, tight space, and traffic were the main challenges for a project with extensive placements at the site.
This project was also split into three different contracts resulting in the main project being dealt with three different projects or contractors on site. For this reason, site coordination was vital to keeping this project on track and schedule.

Project Solutions

The project required high rates and large volumes of concrete to place the foundations and slabs. BURNCO and Mortenson Construction designed a plan to have several delivery routes to beat the high levels of traffic that occur during the morning rush hour.
BURNCO dedicated a single plant on high-yardage days to best service this project to stay ahead of the short construction hours allowed. BURNCO could move trucks within our system if this project saw high demand. We could also increase the fleet at the dedicated plant at a moment’s notice to work around unexpected delays on-site or en route.
BURNCO worked with the general contractor to streamline the project regarding the three contracts. This made each project its account and assigned a field supervisor to the project that attended weekly meetings on the construction schedule and coordinated all the ready mix trucks entering the site.
