MOB buildout above an active 24/7 Emergency Room
Interstruct worked with our healthcare client to capitalize unbuilt shell space on the second floor of its very busy Emergency Room in Clermont, Florida. The upper level had been vacant for five years. Now, this location better serves its community with more specialized healthcare.
Among the many challenges of working in a 24/7 emergency healthcare center was to perform over 100 floor penetrations to accommodate plumbing and floor boxes throughout. Much of our work was directly over the ER nurses’ station, requiring excellent communication and coordination with building personnel to ensure uncompromising standards for patients and the staff while performing all the overhead ceiling work.
Interstruct also built a state-of-the-art X-ray suite that required an innovative joist mounting system that we successfully used for the first time.
To minimize dust and debris, we performed this work within the confines of our mobile ICRA machine. We use this containment system for most medical buildouts in occupied spaces, particularly any that are adjacent to patients in exam or procedure rooms.
