Incorporating prefabricated elements into the Saint Joseph Hospital Heritage project in Denver, cut costs by $4.3 million and six months’ construction time, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management project.
Using prefab elements enabled the project to meet a 30-month construction deadline for the new 831,000-square-foot, 360-bed hospital.
Traditional construction elements would have required six more months to complete the project, according to the construction company — Mortenson Construction.
Prefabricated elements included the exterior wall panels, bathroom pods, patient room headwalls and multisystem racks that include medical gas piping, ductwork, electrical wiring and pneumatic tubing installed above ceilings.
