Chandler Regional Expansion Project

Project Control recently finished up work on the new tower addition at the Chandler Regional Medical Center. Beginning construction in December 2011 and opening on August 26th, the new addition added 96 desperately needed beds to the hospital, bringing the total number of beds to 339. An expansion of services is now offered at the facility, including emergency, radiology, ICU, and surgical. In a hospital that has been at 100% capacity 42% of the time for the last year, the new addition was much needed and appreciated by both employees and patients.

A few fun facts about this project, from this article here:

TOWER C FUN FACTS

• The Tower C project began in December 2011. By July 2014, the construction team had logged more than 600,000 hours.
• The $125 million Dignity Health project was paid for through bonds, investment money, reserves and donations.

• The tower adds space and equipment to support the Level 1 trauma program with four trauma bays and a dedicated trauma operating room.
• The new tower includes a palliative-care lounge to provide a quiet space for family members of palliative-care patients.
• Tower C houses 300 hand-sanitizer dispensers, each containing 17 ounces of product. The tower is expected to use approximately 2,000 gallons of hand sanitizer each year.

The new area at the hospital covers a whopping 180,000 sq feet, with an additional 22,154 sq ft remodel. As always, Project Control is excited and grateful to be part of a project that does such important work and helps thousands of people every day.

Another project completed--from concept to reality!

The Big Reveal--Outlets at Traverse Mountain

The largest LED sign in the country was unveiled today in Lehi, UT. The impressive sign stands over 100 feet tall and has nearly 2,500 feet of LED display. The sign is highly technologically advanced--it has 4.4 trillion colors and has a total of nearly 1.7 million individual LED lights.

Marketing Director, Heather Nash, stated in a press release, “Outlets at Traverse Mountain is near completion of phase II of our development process...The high-quality and sharp display of this new sign is the first glance of our continued efforts to increase traffic and excellence through the mall. This first step shows the community what they can expect from Outlets at Traverse Mountain in the upcoming months and years.”

In this photo, the sign displays some of the staff at PCI who have been working on the project.

 The LED sign is the beginning stages of Phase II at Outlets at Traverse Mountain. For more information, visit OutletsatTraverseMountain.com.

Finishing Touches at Outlets at Traverse Mountain

After years of planning and hard work, the construction on the Outlets at Traverse Mountain in Lehi, UT is nearly complete. The sign itself took nearly five years of planning and construction and the final crown was placed atop this month, completing one of the largest LED signs in all of Utah.

The sign at Outlets at Traverse Mountain was already a towering 70 feet high, and the recent addition has added another 30 feet. It is a 3,000 square foot free-standing sign. And it certainly has a weight as shocking as it's height...the sign weighs a whopping 90,000 pounds and took a 550 ton crane to place.

Here are just a few pictures of the progress and Project Control's involvement in the project over time:

Project Control has been excited to be involved in this project and our team has enjoyed watching it come to its completion.

Happenings Lately at the Siena Tower Project

Project Control Inc. has been working on the Siena Tower Project for a little while now, as you may remember from this post. Below is a time laps video of the 2-story building that is currently housing the Emergency Department at the campus.

As you can imagine, relocating the Emergency Department to a new location was no simple undertaking. After the department was moved over to their new temporary location, the real work began. The existing site was demolished and room was made for the construction of the new tower.

The groundbreaking for the new tower construction took place a few weeks ago. For more information about the project, you can visit KLAS Las Vegas' article here.
