This 300,000 square foot acute care facility with 270 licensed beds opened in 2008 as a replacement for Clarksvile's aging facility and is our largest hospital project to date. We erected 3,100 tons in twenty-two weeks, successfully coordinating two crews and two cranes to create a huge schedule advantage for our client.

Heart Of Florida Regional Medical Center

Quickfact: 2-Story vertical expansion
Having spread outward during previous expansions, it was time for this hospital to go upward. We successfully added two framing levels, allowing the facility to increase its bed count to 194. Close coordination with our client allowed hospital operations to continue uninterrupted during the expansion process.
Deaconess Gateway Hospital
Location: Newburgh, IN
Client: Bovis Lend Lease
Designer: KJWW Engineering Consultants, P.C.
Quickfact: 1500 tons
We are proud to be a part of Deaconess Health Systems' expansion of their Newburgh campus. This Special Moment Resisting Frame required careful fabrication and close tolerances to enable quick fit-up of each brace member. Of the 14,000 brace bolts less than 10 holes were misaligned and required field drilling. Quality fabrication at its best!

The Tampa-St. Pete suburb of Brooksville's newest healthcare facility is this 120 bed medical complex situated on 130 acres. We erected the steel in late 2004 as part of an astounding 12 month construction schedule. The facility opened on time and within budget, putting a feather in our cap for another successful healthcare project.
