PROJECT PROFILE


Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center CT Replacement Location: Chicago, Illinois Size: 2,500 sq.ft. Delivery Method: Construction Manager at Risk


PROJECT SCOPE

Michuda Construction provided Construction Management at Risk services for the CT Replacement project at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center. This 2,500-square-foot project focused on dismantling and removing the existing CT equipment and installing a new, state-of-the-art CT unit to improve diagnostic services.

The scope of work included:

  • Dismantling and Removal of Existing CT Equipment: Safely decommissioning the old CT unit, following specific protocols to prevent disruptions to adjacent areas.

  • Installation of New CT System: Careful installation and calibration of the new CT unit, requiring precise handling and coordination with equipment vendors to ensure alignment and functionality.

  • Radiation Shielding Verification: Ensuring that the existing radiation shielding within the room met all regulatory requirements, providing a safe environment for staff and patients.

  • Adjustments to Electrical and HVAC Systems: Minor modifications to existing systems to meet the requirements of the new equipment, including electrical adjustments for the CT’s power needs and HVAC calibration for temperature control.

CHALLENGES & SOLUTIONS

The replacement of the CT unit presented unique challenges due to the nature of the equipment and its location within an active hospital. Michuda addressed these with a targeted approach:

  • Minimizing Disruptions in a Fully Operational Hospital: Michuda scheduled dismantling and installation activities during off-hours to avoid disruptions to adjacent departments. Infection control measures were implemented to ensure a safe environment for patients and staff.

  • Efficient Equipment Transition: The project required the seamless transition of CT equipment to minimize downtime. Michuda worked closely with vendors to schedule just-in-time delivery and installation, enabling rapid setup and calibration.

  • Coordination with Hospital MEP Systems: Michuda made necessary electrical and HVAC adjustments to support the new CT unit, ensuring optimal performance without impacting other hospital systems.
