Healthcare Projects
VA Prosthetics Lab Relocate & Expand – Phases 1 and 2, VA La Jolla:
This project was a multi-phase project that included the temporary closure of half of the existing Prosthetics lab, as well as tying in new construction to existing spaces. This project was successfully completed in the beginning of 2022.
The scope of work included selective demo in an active hospital, installation of new power and lighting with an energy efficient lighting control system, running feeders for new 200-amp panels, running raceway for a AC split unit on roof, installation of a new 600v 60 amp service disconnect, provided power to all the VAVs, and coordination for all low voltage systems, including access control, fire alarm, data, nurse call, CCTV, and DDC systems.
This project required multiple phases, as well as off hours construction shifts to reduce impact and disturbance to patient care. The surrounding areas of this project remained fully operational during construction. The area initially was contaminated with Asbestos through demolition. This required extra diligence in keeping our PPE and infectious control procedures in place.
