OROVILLE, Calif. (May 7, 2020) – Sundt Construction, Inc. and its joint-venture partner Modern Building, Inc. recently celebrated the topping out of Orohealth’s new hospital tower.
“The team has gone from ground level to topping out in under three weeks,” said Mike Mielcarek, Project Executive. “Having achieved this important milestone as quickly as we did was a result of tremendous planning up front. The hard work and dedication of the entire project team to quickly identify and resolve issues prior to becoming a constraint during steel erection is commendable.”
The 159,751-square-foot expansion will add a five-story wing to the existing hospital and connect at the first and second floors. The acute care hospital wing will expand the existing 132-bed facility to a new total of 228 beds. The project consists of an ambulatory care center on the first floor, women’s and infant center including labor, delivery and recovery on the second floor, a third-floor ICU and two floors consisting of 70 new medical/surgery beds. CannonDesign is the architect of record.
As work continues during these unprecedented times, Modern/Sundt remains committed to the health and safety of our people and our communities. The social distancing, hygiene and sanitation protocols being practiced on our jobsites align with recommendations from the CDC and other public health officials.
