The project consists of two stories of classrooms, a common area, kitchen and gymnasium. Air handling units and mechanical room were located in a ‘drive-in’ crawlspace. Climate control was accomplished with twelve (12) air handling units, five (5) high efficiency 50 HP boilers, a 315 ton chiller, a 50,000 CFM cooling tower, VAV terminals, split systems, cabinet and unit heaters, a four pipe heating / chilled water loop. Midlands Mechanical, Inc. performed all of the mechanical and plumbing work.

The east and west campus areas of the University of Nebraska at Kearney were served by a central heating system originating from two plants, one constructed in the 1930s. Both plants housed boilers and one contained a chiller. The majority of the steam piping was routed through walk-through tunnels. Chilled water piping was routed through walk-through tunnels and was also direct buried. The new central plant houses 4-boilers and 2-chillers. The purpose of the project was to expand and enhance the central system to provide additional capacity and reliability.

The project consisted of a new expansion to the existing Good Samaritan. All services were required including medical gas services, plumbing, and hot water heat and air distribution. This includes demolition and installation of new system from the existing Central Utilities Plant on site (without interrupting the hospitals current services). Midlands Mechanical, Inc. modeled all of our components and ran the coordination for the job, coordinating with all trades in order to ensure that all systems had space.

MMI performed the mechanical portion on this plan / spec project which was a new addition / remodel of the hospital. The project included a complete upgrade of the mechanical system throughout the building. Phase 1 of the project started with the new north office addition. Phase 2 of the project was the new south ambulance garage addition. Phase 3 was the remodel of the existing facility.

Complete mechanical renovation of numerous sections of the hospital. All of the work was negotiated through a unique Integrated Project Delivery Method (IPD) in which Midlands Mechanical, Inc. offered input on the mechanical design of the spaces. Through the use of this IPD method, we were able to optimize the project results and increase the value to the owner through the maximization of efficiency through all phases of the construction project. The renovation work was all completed while normal hospital procedures were ongoing.

The project consists of a 60,000 square foot addition to the existing hospital. All services are required, including medical gas, plumbing, hot water heat and air distribution. When the first phase of this project is complete the hospital will occupy this area and the existing hospital will be totally remodeled. This obviously includes demolition and installation of totally new systems. This project was not bid as a design build.

Job consisted of addition of new patient wing built separate from the existing hospital. This wing consisted of 27 individual patient rooms and a new LDR area. A 600’ temporary corridor was constructed to allow access to the wing after occupation. Existing patient wing was then demolished and a new surgery wing was constructed that connected the existing hospital to the new surgery wing, after which the temporary corridor was removed. The surgery wing consisted of 3 new OR’s with a 4th area for future, new endoscopy area and a new observation area.

The Boys Town National Research Hospital West was constructed to allow the original Hospital to expand outside of its downtown location continuing its growth in both research and treatment of primarily ear, nose, and throat illnesses.
