The project includes an expansion of the existing SEFL facility to include a new maintenance shop and fuel center. Additionally, the scope includes expansion of the existing loading dock, as well as the construction of a new LTL facility to include offices, warehouse space, and a loading dock.
Phase 2 of the Gateway 85 project consists of a 1,527,231 sf logistics warehouse located on a 105-acre site. The shell of the building will be a conventional steel-frame with full-height wall bearing tilt-up concrete panels with 122 dock doors and 40’-49’ clear height. The scope also includes an office build-out consisting of 13,508 sf, as well as parking for 158 car spaces and 360 trailer spaces.
The new Central Generator Plant at Forsyth Medical Center is a 38,000 sf, two-level structure towering over 50’ tall. The first floor will have six (6) chillers, six (6)chilled water pumps, and six (6) condenser water pumps. It is also planned to house a water heater, chemical treatment system, a heat exchanger and pump, a cube filtration system, and an operations office.
This five-story, 245,420 sf Critical Care Tower (CCT) project included the new 194,000 sf CCT and 51,420 sf of phased Surgical Suite Renovation of 15 existing operating rooms and replacement of three (3) existing AHUs. The CCT building includes 94 new patient rooms (59 critical care rooms and 36 medical-surgical rooms), 38 new pre/post patient bays, 27 new PACU patient rooms, four (4) new ORs, a new Sterile Processing Department, a new rooftop helipad, and 10 new elevators. An enabling project for the CCT was the 2-story, 42,400 sf Chiller Generator Plant, which included three (3) large chillers, seven (7) pumps, a heat exchanger, three (3) emergency generators, three (3) large cooling towers, and fuel storage.
Novant Health on-boarded the Design Team and Vannoy Construction before the start of design, creating an integrated project team focusing on Target Value Design. Additionally, an active approach was taken to the early onboarding of select Trade Contractor partners in a Design-Assist capacity. Design-Assist Trade Partners included Pre-Cast Concrete (exterior wall panels CGP), Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Protection, Pneumatic Tube, and Helipad. The project had inherent risks associated with constructing a large expansion on an active campus and complexities in coordinating and completing 194 MEP shutdowns. The success was largely driven by seamless communication amongst all stakeholders, proactively coordinating and planning potential impactful work activities, and collectively working for the benefit of the project.
