Various Projects  Boiler Plant Upgrade, Renovation in Bone and Joint building, Speciality Pharmacy new construction

Construction Completion
2019 on-going

Building Project Summary: 

Union Hospital’s Capital Improvement plan required the replacement of boilers and chillers. R.E. Dimond and Associates provided plans and specifications to upgrade the boiler plant by removing two outdated boilers and replacing six high-efficiency condensing boilers.  Additionally, R.E. Dimond and Associates provided documents for installing two new chillers: 1500 ton Chiller and a 325 Chiller.

Challenges included integrating the new chillers with previously installed water-cooled chillers and controls following hospital guidelines and standards. In addition, the new chillers were designed for safety with automatic start-up should the existing chiller fail.

The Bone and Joint room renovation provided new X-ray services, and a specialty pharmacy converted from a coffee shop to an oncology pharmacy.

MRI Suite Expansion at the Plainfield Medical Office Building

Building Project Summary:
R.E. Dimond & Associates designed the Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing systems for the new MRI suite expansion at Plainfield Medical Office Building.  The magnets used in MRI technology require shielding around the entire room.  Extensive coordination between the trades was necessary in the approximately 2,000 square foot suite because only nonferrous materials can be used within the shielded area.

Building Project Summary:
R.E. Dimond and Associates provided the complete mechanical, electrical and plumbing design for the 27,500 square foot surgery suite addition with five operating rooms, endoscopy suites, pre-op/post-op and a main entry for patient check-in.  The project also included an 11,000 square foot remodel of an existing surgery suite to be converted to a new OB suite.  The complex design included a complete analysis and evaluation of all existing infrastructure to verify adequate capacity to support surgery addition.  The project also included a 400 ton chiller and cooling tower.

Measures Implemented:
R.E. Dimond’s role was particularly challenging in this project.  Utilities needed to be extended from the campus power plant to the Operating Room when there was no way to extend through the existing building because of space restraints.  R.E. Dimond designed a horizontal chase along the hospital exterior for steam, chilled water, domestic hot and cold water, and fire protection systems.

Additional electrical distribution for emergency (critical, life safety and equipment) and normal power was designed.  New lighting was also incorporated into the project.  A baby abduction alarm system was designed as well as a new fire alarm system.
