The addition of 92 beds and more than 91,000 square meters of space significantly increases the hospital capacity of the Cape Valley Medical Center and helps to relieve the delays of the Emergency Department. The strategic phase of construction was required to add the two new flats directly above one of the most crowded emergency departments in the country and next to high -traffic emergency inputs and main hospital entrances.
A target valuable design approach helped maintain budget alignment during a market volatility period. Key design assistance subcontractors were on an early age to collaborate with the design team, facilitating timely design decisions and the early contracting of critical materials.
The extensive use of out -of -site prefabrication helped improve the quality and efficiency of the project, while the reduced population of daily jobs benefited both the safety of workers and hospital operations. The prefabricated components included the outside skin, the walls of the patient’s rooms, the bath pods, the electrical rooms and the engines of deputies.
In addition, the assembly of racks, wall panels and electrical rooms supported the regional economy locally and facilitated visits to the easiest warehouse site for quality inspections.
Helipads on the enlarged roof of the addition of both standard and military helicopters are the first in the country to implement a primary system of water suppression only, a safer alternative to traditional foam systems linked to cancer risks.
