Scaffold System to Support 2nd Floor 
 
Under Slab Plumbing Pipes and Electrical Conduits 

Significant progress has been made on the Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett facility expansion.  Foundation grade beams have been completed and the perimeter foundation walls are being placed.  Columns are also being placed from first to second floor elevation.  The foundations are being backfilled and the slab on grade is being graded once the plumbers and electrician complete under slab piping.  Roof beams and slab are also progressing with the installation of rebar, plumbing sleeves, electrical sleeves, and mechanical box outs.

You can check out the progress at your own convenience by going to our live web cam.

 

 
Reinforcing Steel for Roof Beams 
The $34 million dollar facility expansion project will result in 96 additional hospital beds for Bartlett and the surrounding area.  The expansion will allow Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett to double their current total of ICU beds and surgical suites.  In addition, ancillary services such as pharmacy and laboratory will be relocated and expanded.  Finally, with the addition of more than 83,000 square feet, Saint Francis-Bartlett will have space available to expand service lines to serve the growing needs of the community.
