General Contracting, Preconstruction
In March 1989, NorthEast Medical Center selected Rodgers Builders as the master general contractor for their Phase I "Capital Improvement Program." The $31 million first phase construction included: Energy Center, Site Infrastructure, 45,000-square-foot Ambulatory Surgery Center, and the 86,000-square-foot Mariam Cannon Hayes Family Center.
The energy center consists of a two-story, cast-in-place concrete structure with EPDM roof system. The center is designed to be an unmanned energy plant. The lower level contains four boilers, four chillers and two standby 4150 KVA generators. The second level includes a control room, electrical switch gear room and maintenance shop. The roof level supports four cooling towers. Adjacent to the energy center is an oxygen tank compound.
The 800-foot-long, 10-foot diameter utility tunnel carries all steam, chilled water supply and return, oxygen, power and control communications from the energy center to the main hospital.
