General Contractor: Robins and Morton / Contract Amount: $8,424,454

This project was a two-phased project consisting of a 134,000 square-foot 5-story addition and a 42,000 square-foot renovation. The work in the existing Powerhouse included installing a new steam boiler and chiller. This installation required tie-ins to the existing equipment to maintain service to the existing facility while utilizing these services for temporary climate control for the new addition. This work, along with the medical gas systems change-outs and tie-ins, required close coordination with the facility. Ivey's fabrication shop was used to cut, weld, and groove cast iron for two floors of patient rooms. Ivey worked more than 107,000 manhours on this project without a lost-time accident.

Ivey's scope of work on this project was to replace three variable volume air handling units that served the core of the patient tower wings (pods.) The areas supplied by this equipment include patient care, nursing stations, and other support areas on each floor of the twelve story facility. The new air handling units installed provide the code compliant air changes and filtration capabilities needed for modern healthcare facilities, provide for additional capacities for the future, and operate more efficiently due to the DDC controls with variable frequency drives on both supply and return fans. This project was completed ahead of schedule, below budget, and without incident to either co-workers or the facility.
