BEX Construction Services Completes New Steel Structure Church Building

Published on

BEX Construction Services in conjunction with Casual Consultants (Joe Cook) recently completed a new 12,000 sf Church building for the Devotional Baptist congregation located off N. Hanley Rd behind the Scripts Campus, north of I-70. The steel structure was purchased from Kirby Building Systems o/o Portland TN. The District Sales Manager for Kirby, Greg Clement o/o the St Louis branch office and Tim Williams (VP-BEX) worked with Joe Cook as part of the Design-Build team that helped meet the church needs and kept the overall cost under their budget. It was originally designed as a conventional building, but because of the flexibility of an Engineered Steel Building from Kirby, they were able to allow for the finished drywall ceilings as well as making design allowances for the future steeple and gym goals. The roof is a colored Mechanically-locked Standing Seam roof with a 20 year weathertightness warranty along with a heavy gauge interlocking concealed fastener wall panels with brick highlights.
Grand opening is scheduled for July 10th.

Cee Kay Supply Announces Industrial Vending Solutions Managing and Tracking Inventory

Published on

Cee Kay Supply is now offering Industrial Vending Solutions for managing and tracking inventory at almost any workplace.  U.S. companies annually spend upwards of $150B on indirect materials and roughly half of that inventory goes unused each year.  Industrial vending is a great solution for businesses that are looking to reduce their indirect material spending.

Cee Kay Supply has partnered with SupplyPro, an inventory management manufacturer, to bring savings to businesses by reducing inventory consumption, waste and theft, increasing productivity with 24/7 availability of critical items and eliminating stock outs with automated ordering.

The program starts by the manager selecting items such as gloves, welding tips, safety glasses, grinding wheels etc., which will be stored within a highly customizable vending machine which then controls access and tracks consumption by employee, machine or department. This machine is also capable of storing larger serialized or calibrated items for check-in/check-out times for short term use by employees.

The ongoing collection of data and reporting analytics can then provide the manager with as much (or as little) oversight as desired regarding inventory management. The customizable reports organize all of the trend analysis and usage information in one place and provide the evidence needed for the manager or Cee Kay to make informed decisions regarding inventory control.

Cee Kay Supply is a solution provider that is dedicated to helping our customers meet their goals and objectives.  Industrial Vending is another example in which Cee Kay Supply has invested in technology in order to help our customers be more efficient and successful.

SSM Health Unveils Plan for New $550 Million Academic Medical Center

Published on
//

New SSM HospitalSSM Health has unveiled a Master Facility Plan for their new $550 million academic medical center in the City of St. Louis, a 316-bed, 802,000-square-foot replacement hospital and new outpatient care center for SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital.

Developed in partnership between SSM Health and Saint Louis University, the Master Facility Plan establishes a footprint for the new hospital campus and facilities, including location, size, patient services, expanded parking and green space, along with areas for any future campus expansion.

The new complex will be located on the north side of the existing facility between Rutger and Lasalle Streets, adjacent to the hospital’s current location on Grand Avenue, with plans to better integrate the hospital with neighboring Saint Louis University School of Medicine and SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital. SSM Health continues to explore options for the current Desloge Tower, but no decisions have been made.

“This plan shows our commitment to the City of St. Louis and to an improved patient experience that supports our mission to provide exceptional care,” says Kate Becker, SLU Hospital president. “We will not only provide world-class health care for patients throughout the Midwest, but also ensure they are treated in a more comfortable healing environment.”

The new SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital includes all-private patient rooms, larger intensive care units and an expanded emergency department. To provide patients with more convenient options, the new outpatient care center will expand outpatient surgery services and provide additional clinical space for SLUCare physician practices. Dedicated educational space throughout the facility will allow Saint Louis University to better train future physicians and health practitioners.

“This state-of-the-art facility represents the health care of tomorrow and will benefit the entire region,” said Robert M. Heaney, M.D., SLUCare Physician Group CEO. “Most importantly, it ensures our patients have the best possible environment, one that incorporates the latest technology and best practices in patient care. In addition, our new facilities also will enhance the education of future medical and healthcare professionals, while strengthening medical research that leads to lifesaving treatments.”

Alberici Constructors, Inc. was selected as the project’s construction manager in April and is slated to break ground in the fall of 2017 with an estimated completion date of Sept. 1, 2020. The replacement hospital and outpatient care center is beyond the hospital improvements under way since SSM Health assumed ownership of SSM Health SLU Hospital last fall, including construction of a new radiation oncology facility.

Lawrence Group, in partnership with Hammel, Green and Abrahamson (HGA), began developing the project scope in January of this year, working from information provided by planning architects Frank Zilm and Associates, Inc. (FZA). Through meetings with key leaders from SSM Health SLU Hospital and SLUCare Physician Group last fall, FZA gained critical input and developed a defined project scope. The Master Facility Plan takes into consideration SLU Hospital’s medically-complex tertiary and quaternary services, such as its Level 1 trauma center, organ transplant program and outpatient bone marrow transplant program.

Published on

St. Louis-based Wiegmann Associates has begun work on a design/build HVAC project for RMC Distributing Company’s 148,000-square-foot refrigerated beer warehouse in Colorado Springs. The project includes a complete HVAC retrofit and office expansion. Wiegmann is the Engineer of Record and HVAC Construction Manager for the project, which is scheduled for completion in December 2016. The general contractor is ARCO Beverage Group.
Wiegmann is engineering an HVAC solution for the dry and refrigerated warehouses, adding new equipment while retaining components of the existing equipment. The project also includes two new split refrigeration systems in the draught cooler.

A direct digital control system (DDC) will enhance climate control in a 16,800-square-foot new construction office expansion, which will triple the facility’s existing office area to 28,000 square feet. The owner will have the ability to monitor and adjust office HVAC settings remotely from a single computer program.

The primary project challenge is engineering an energy efficient HVAC system that reliably maintains the specified temperatures dictated by product suppliers. Beer distributors are required to monitor and report all temperatures in warehouse and draught cooler spaces.

RMC Distributing is a beer distributer serving 18 counties in Southern Colorado. The company distributes nearly 235 brands of beer representing more than 30 suppliers.

Wiegmann Associates is a St. Louis-based mechanical contractor serving the commercial, industrial and institutional markets, and a national leader in design/build HVAC projects.
