Some South air The main projects include:
Lifepoint Hospitals: New Health Hospitals and Behavior Rehabilitation
Construction manager – Je Dunn; Owner: joint company between Centra Health and Lifepoint
The new hospitals are two buildings on the new Centra New Simons Run campus. They are part of a great modernization project, which also includes a significant addition into the main building of Lynchburg General Hospital. Behavioral Health Hospital encompasses 60,000 square meters and will expand the mental health services for the region by adding 36 patient rooms and all areas of support treatment for advanced psychiatric treatment. The rehabilitation hospital will include 61,000 square meters and will add 41 new patients with modern rehabilitation equipment and training areas. Air Southern will be very confident of the BIM planning process to fulfill the demanding calendar for the construction of these two buildings. The projects have used the prefabrication of underground plumbing and electrical services to manage quality and productivity. All the underground infrastructure of the electric room for both buildings was manufactured outside the site in one piece and was installed through our total trimble station. The quality control aspect guarantees that all Stub Sugs will be at the exact location required after the slab is placed. Most of the above soil in materials has been prefabricated and will be installed shortly. The firm was also associated with Je Dunn to create some key construction model models in their store to ensure that each SUM understood the sensitivity of their own means and methods to ensure the success of the prefabrication and the necessary finishes.
Liberty University Champions Center
Construction Manager – Vannoy Construction; Owner – Liberty University
The Champions Center is a complement of 34,000 square meters to the existing Hancock Visitors Center. As an extension of the Welcome Center, the Champions Center will regularly host potential students and their families. Creative screens, videos and interactive content will contextualize Liberty’s history and growth in the light of their mission, and will share how Liberty has been a different Christian institution committed to the great commission. The building will be widely based on audiovisual technology to transmit the university message. The building includes a new theater with a curved screen of 1800 square meters, an interactive champions room and a large multipurpose room with 360 viewing screens. Audio status and computer controlled visual system will require several kilometers of data wiring to operate.
East campus power plant
General contractor – Nielsen Construction; Owner – James Madison University
This project involves the construction of a spare steam plant for the East Campus of the James Madison University. It is a multifase project that includes the demolition of the old power plant and the construction of a new steam plant and a cooling plant at the same location. This project shows the abilities and experience of industrial construction of South Air. The two new B&W steam boilers can produce 80,000 LB per hour of steam at 250 PSIG each. The completion of this project will guarantee the capacity of heating and cooling of the Campus for the University for the next decades. Construction will require Air Southern to be based on a previous experience of other great useful projects. The canalization will require that several areas of the plant have sets classified with asme code to be manufactured in the ASME U and PP program of the company.
Last year, Southern Air took the number 7 in the Specialized Contractor Survey of Top Enr Midatlantic with $ 158 million. To find out where you are in South Air in the survey of the contractor Enr East Top of this year and for more information on the signature, see the September number of East.
