University of Utah Ambulatory Care Complex 

Owner: DFCM  

Engineer:  Van Boerum & Frank 

Location:  SLC, UT 

General Contractors:  Jacobsen Construction 

Size: SqFt.  322,731

Completion Date:  September 2019

This project is a Design Assist – FLCC project. We were awarded the project during design development phase. We have worked closely with Van Boerum & Frank engineers and project design team to complete construction documents within the FLCC. The new healthcare facility consists of eight stories above grade and houses a new hospital campus boiler plant below grade. The new building has been constructed on an extremely tight site, surrounded and connecting to existing hospital facilities. Prior to excavation and structural placement for the new facility, we relocated an existing steam boiler plant to accommodate the new building. Construction access has been limited to one confined area, shared with receiving and public access for existing facilities. All work has been performed with just in time deliveries, as no onsite laydown exists for the project. Utilities are shared to and from the ACC building and its surrounding campus. This has required rerouting of many utilities and tie-ins to an existing 24-hour facility that must remain in operation. This project will be completed on time and obtain LEED certification.

Sunrise Hospital Campus 

Owner: Sunrise Mountainview Hospital & Medical Center

Architect: DG Architecture 

Engineer: WSP / CCRD 

Location:  Las Vegas, NV 

General Contractors: Layton, Brycon, McCarthy 

Completion Date:  October 2018

Since 2016 we have completed over 11 different projects on campus including 3 Design Assist delivery methods. In all we added 13 new air handlers and replaced 5 air handlers. Replacing the existing central plant in the same space as the old one was a challenge. We replaced the old chiller with new ones twice the size of the old one to accommodate the new building additions. The central plant work was accomplished in 7 phases and over an 18-month period. The new addition had pre-fab MEP racks, bathrooms, head walls and sink walls in patient rooms that cut the construction time down in the areas installed by 4 months. All new headers and upsized mains were installed. We added new steam boilers and a new fuel oil system. Other areas remodeled are OR’s, PICU, Morgue, Endo, ICU, Kitchen, Labor and delivery, and patient rooms. We also replaced the drain-line in one 5 story patient tower. We replaced $1,600,000.00 in existing fixtures with new upgraded fixtures. In total 11 healthcare projects were complete in 26 months.

NELLIS AFB HOSPITAL REMODEL

Architect:  United Excel Design

Engineer: United Excel Design

Location:  Las Vegas, NV

General Contractor: United Excel

Size: 122,708 Sq Ft

Completion Date:  December 2016

The remodel touched 65% of the hospital, we worked on all 4 floors of the hospital and all of the mechanical rooms. The work was accomplished in 19 phases including R&R of 8 operating rooms while keeping 6 existing OR’s in operation at all times. All of the staff in the affected areas needed to be relocated to other temporary spaces during the various remodel phases. Work included med gas, area alarms and master alarms to be relocated, new AHU’s installed and reworking 11 existing AHU units with new motors and coils and VFDs. This was also a LEED silver project.

Southern Hills Hospital 5th Floor

Owner:  Southern Hills Medical Center

Engineer:  Van Boerum & Frank

Location: Las Vegas, NV

General Contractor: Layton Construction

Size: 30,294 Sq Ft

Completion Date:  February 2016

This project was a design build project. We brought in one of the engineers we have worked with before on hospitals (VBF). We worked with the architect for 5 months on the design process. We incorporated fully finished bathrooms (BLOX) and wall units that were built out of state and installed on site on the 5th floor thought the side of the building. One of the biggest challenges was to coordinate the layout on the new units with the existing piping from the 4th floor. The hospital only wanted to close down the lower floor patient rooms one time during construction so all the drains and vents and water lines that needed to be moved for the new design had to line up with the new BLOX units perfectly. Due to the BIM drawings, we did not need to move any lines from the original layout and all the BLOX units set in with no problem. The project was finished on time and on budget.

We then used the BIM model to produce spool sheets so we could prefabricate piping to help keep the project on schedule. This project also included a 60,000 square foot professional office building that was connected to the hospital. The P.O.B. mechanical system was fed through the hospital which required careful routing.
