Expert Construction for Medical Projects

Mary Lanning Memorial Hospital - Hastings, NE

Project Description:

The project consists of 2 additions totaling 60,000 square feet in addition to the existing hospital. All services are required, including medical gas, plumbing, hot water heat and air distribution. When the first phase of Area A is complete the hospital personnel on 6th floor will occupy this area and the existing floor will be remodeled. This includes demolition and installation of new systems that will have to be brought up from the lower level mechanical room thru the new 7 story north addition (without interrupting the hospitals current service) before renovation of the 6th floor can start.

After the 6th floor is renovated we will proceed down to 4th as the 4th floor staff will move into the newly renovated 6th floor. The project will continue in this fashion as the construction moves down a floor the hospital staff will move into the newly renovated floors. This project was not bid as a design build. However, there were / are some areas especially in the existing hospital where a combined effort between the General, Architect, Engineer, and our forces were required in order to make everything fit and function properly for the owner.

Boys Town National Research Hospital - Boys Town, NE

Project Description:

The Boys Town National Research Hospital West was constructed to allow the original Hospital to expand outside of its downtown location continuing its growth in both research and treatment of primarily ear, nose, and throat illnesses.

The 40,700 square foot hospital includes 22 patient rooms, 5 operating rooms, a pharmacy, and one specialized treatment and procedure room. Over 65% of the work was done with our own forces. This included the installation of the Medical Gas Systems that were installed by a few of our many certified Med Gas installers. We also installed a complete Chilled water system and Hot Water Heat System for conditioning the space. We fabricated the majority of this piping in our shop utilizing our CAD machine and operator. We also laid out all of our underground piping on the CAD system thereby assuring accurate installations as well as providing accurate drawings for as built drawings. All of the prefabrication, drawings, and coordination were necessary in order to complete this project 2 months ahead of schedule.

McCook Community Hospital - McCook, NE

Project Description:

Job consisted of addition of new patient wing built separate from the existing hospital. This wing consisted of 27 individual patient rooms and a new LDR area. A 600’ temporary corridor was constructed to allow access to the wing after occupation. Existing patient wing was then demolished and a new surgery wing was constructed that connected the existing hospital to the new surgery wing, after which the temporary corridor was removed. The surgery wing consisted of 3 new OR’s with a 4th area for future, new endoscopy area and a new observation area.

During these phases the boiler room was completely re-done with 3 new steam boilers, new feed water tanks and chemical treatment system. Two temporary boilers were utilized to maintain steam to the hospital during this process. Also the existing south penthouse was renovated completely. This included 3 new air handling units and a completely new heating water system. This process involved placing one new AHU and connecting existing units to it temporarily so they could be removed and new units placed.

Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center - Lincoln, NE

Project Description

Complete mechanical renovation of numerous sections of the hospital. All of the work was negotiated through a unique Integrated Project Delivery Method (IPD) in which Midlands Mechanical, Inc. offered input on the mechanical design of the spaces. Through the use of this IPD method, we were able to optimize the project results and increase the value to the owner through the maximization of efficiency through all phases of the construction project. The renovation work was all completed while normal hospital procedures were ongoing.

Good Samaritan Hospital - Kearney, NE

Project Description

The project consisted of a new expansion to the existing Good Samaritan. All services were required including medical gas services, plumbing, and hot water heat and air distribution. This includes demolition and installation of new system from the existing Central Utilities Plant on site (without interrupting the hospitals current services). Midlands Mechanical, Inc. modeled all of our components and ran the coordination for the job, coordinating with all trades in order to ensure that all systems had space. Once coordination was approved by areas, we used our model for spooling, reporting, and more so the field was efficiently able to construct what they needed to on time. This included hanger locations and spacing, pipe racks, and equipment locations / connections. Over 98,000 feet of pipe was installed and roughly 400 medical gas service connections were made.
