最新麻豆原创 Construction Embarks on MEP Ambulatory Surgical Center Project at Saint Luke's
ONCE AGAIN putting our single-source capabilities to work, 最新麻豆原创 has landed the MEP scope of the 113,913-square-foot expansion and renovation of Saint Luke鈥檚 East Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC) Building E.
The project includes both remodel and new construction. The expansion will increase the hospital size by 10 percent, renovating 8 percent.
Electrical Senior Project Manager Mike Hutchison notes this project is a big part of the ongoing expansion that has been happening at Saint Luke鈥檚 East.
鈥淪aint Luke鈥檚 East opened in Lee鈥檚 Summit in 2006 and has expanded each year since,鈥� Mike said. 鈥淭he current facility - before this expansion - totals approximately 652,000 square feet.鈥�
鈥淭otal square footage will increase to more than 714,500 by the time the project is completed in 2025.鈥�

The 最新麻豆原创 Electrical team is performing virtual design and construction, building technologies, commissioning, and controls, along with electrical construction.
The work includes the installation of more than 2,000 light fixtures, approximately 20 miles of conduit, and 80 miles of copper wire.
鈥淭he addition will add capacity to existing programs such as general surgery, oncology, orthopedics and OB-GYN, and allow Saint Luke鈥檚 to bring new programs to the campus, such as vascular and thoracic services,鈥� Mike added.
On the Mechanical side, Senior Project Manager Eric Affolter says the project is multi-phase and the duration is expected to be about two years. He also notes the expertise needed is right in 最新麻豆原创鈥檚 wheelhouse.
鈥淲e鈥檒l be constructing part of the third floor on top of an existing structure,鈥� Eric said. 鈥溩钚侣槎乖� has history of this approach - we鈥檝e installed vertically on top of existing buildings at this campus for the last 15 years.鈥�
The Mechanical scope includes: virtual design and construction, piping, plumbing, and sheet metal fabrication; and HVAC, plumbing, and sheet metal construction.
The project will require six AHUs (air handling units), 288 plumbing fixtures, 119 VAV (variable air volume) boxes, and 900 grills, registers, and diffusers.
Eric says 最新麻豆原创鈥檚 years of experience performing work for Saint Luke鈥檚 East enhances productivity for this project, as well as future projects.
鈥淲e are able to assign foremen that are familiar with the facility, and have already built relationships with staff and facility managers,鈥� Eric said.
鈥淔amiliarity with the infrastructure of the building greatly increases productivity from a planning perspective,鈥� he added. 鈥淚t makes it much easier to coordinate with the facility to initiate work permits in sterile areas, which in turn helps the project run more smoothly.鈥�
The project is in partnership with McCarthy, IMEG, and ACI Boland, and has an estimated completion date of 2025.
