Large-scale expansion projects within or adjacent to occupied campuses require exceptional collaboration and extensive preconstruction planning to minimize impacts. Critical elements including site logistics, hospital operational issues, barrier walls, emergency egress, Interim Life-Safety measures, architectural phasing, and MEP utility phasing drive the final phasing plan. All workers, including subcontractors, are trained in the latest infection control and blood-borne pathogen protocols. GLY teams receive high praise for best–of-class services in all phases of construction through close-out.
GLY teams work in every department of occupied hospitals, where critical phasing scenarios keep facilities operating safely with less disruption. Complex hospital renovations require strict procedures for cleanliness; dust, dirt and noise control; access; code upgrades and utility and Life-Safety shut-downs and tie-ins; and requested work stoppages. They may involve complex installations/upgrades of sensitive, high-tech apparatus, including Radiology, CT and MRI equipment. GLY field teams implement every safeguard, including infection- and blood-borne pathogen control programs.
Our team specializes in expedited delivery of fast-track ground-up facilities. With ground-up construction, scope often includes site development and interior tenant improvements. Using our excellent preplanning and scheduling tools, GLY teams have accomplished substantial completion of shell and core and interior build-outs on the same day, allowing both the building and individual practitioners to open for patient services concurrently. We specialize in such timely, efficient solutions, without sacrificing quality.
Our phased scheduling supports interior build-outs concurrent with shell and core. In functioning buildings, renovations are approached with care and planning, putting patient and staff needs first, and working cooperatively with other contractors/subcontractors on site. Many remodels are driven by technology changes. We research impacts to adjacent departments and architectural conditions, and plan for typical issues involving installation and/or upgrades, including capacities of existing structure, MEP systems, shielding requirements, moving equipment, and any changes to exterior building envelope.
