As the first year of construction comes to a close, the last shoring beams are being installed so that we may excavate the remaining dirt from the site. Once this is completed the final soil enhancement columns will be drilled and filled, setting up the next construction phase of pouring the initial foundation footings of the new hospital.

As part of the final excavation, thirteen electrical “feed” lines supporting the existing hospital were relocated to clear the land for the new hospital.

As this work finishes, we have also permanently removed the east section of the alley-way behind the existing hospital. As the future hospital is built, this area will encompass the “healing garden” and the connecting walkways between the existing hospital and the new hospital.
