The team that worked on the project to expand a more valued Mayo clinic installation in Phoenix did a wide prefabrication work that allowed the hospital not only to avoid interruptions in patient care, remaining open during construction, but also were shaved months outside the calendar.
The Mayo Az Bold Forward Forward West Expansion Clinic included the addition of a seven -story patient tower of 583,000 square meters, a new emergency service that doubled the size of the existing one and the existing basement connection with the new one built 250 feet away.
The project team collaborated with the owner and other members to achieve the goal of maintaining the hospital open without sacrificing patient care during what could have been a disturbing project, according to its presentation.

“Seriously taking into account our first mantra, we determined that it was possible to build the … building in a phase, after many initially thought it should be eliminated,” the team said.
The members worked with the partners to build two prefabricated horizontal attachments 300 feet in length to allow the Hospital public and the staff to continue to access the emergency service. The prefabricated materials included headboard walls, MEP racks and outdoor panels.

This option allowed the main construction to occur in a phase, shaved 17 months outside the calendar, according to the subsidies.
Another challenge was to connect the existing basement with the new one. The construction team decided, after consulting with experts from the Geotechnical Engineer, the commercial partners and the owner, that the basements could be related through the tunnel, more than excavating the connection.
The option saved more than a year outside the original construction calendar and avoided large interruptions in the installation, the project team said. The members successfully dropped 250 feet under the existing hospital to create a service aisle.
