Cator,
Ruma &
Associates
is designing the electrical systems and providing construction administration as
a Sub-Consultant on this project. The Exempla Saint Joseph Hospital is undergoing
a ten-phase electrical distribution upgrade project with a completion date of
2006. Phases one through five have been completed. This project was undertaken
to centralize the electrical systems, replace equipment that had reached its
life expectancy, increase reliability of systems, allow proper system
maintenance, and increase capacity to meet present/future technology demands and
future Hospital expansions. The end result will be modern electrical
distribution and emergency generator systems. Challenges included coordinating
required outages with user groups in the Hospital, maintaining existing
equipment while transitioning to new equipment, and locating space for new
equipment.
The Design Team was recently honored with the prestigious
Vista Team Award for Infrastructure projects. The Team
accepted the Award from the American Society of Healthcare Engineering of the
American Hospital Association during the Society’s 2004 International Conference
and Exhibition on Health Facility Planning, Design and Construction held in
Tampa, Florida. Over 5,000 Healthcare Professionals attended the Conference.
