Media release: Brockville General’s MRI project reaches major milestone

Brockville General Hospital’s magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) project reached a major milestone over the weekend of March 22-24 with the delivery and successful installation of the two specially designed building units. Brockville General is the first hospital in Ontario to use this innovative prefabricated modular building solution for its MRI suite.

The two building sections, each weighing approximately 110,000 pounds, arrived at the site early in the evening on March 22 after a 10-day, 1,700+ kilometre journey on two 130-foot tractor-trailers. Craning operations using a 550-ton crane took place throughout the day on March 23.

With the installation complete, the MRI suite will now be connected to hospital infrastructure such as electrical and plumbing. The next major milestone for the project is the arrival of the MRI scanner later in April. The project remains on track to have the MRI in operation this spring.

MRI imaging can help physicians provide early diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions, often eliminating the need for other tests. This means faster and better care, ultimately improving an individual’s quality of life.

Investing in modern tools and technologies, like an MRI, provides healthcare workers at Brockville General with the right tools and technology to confidently deliver the best patient care.

Flying Zebra Spotted in Ottawa Sky

When the tender documents were issued for replacement of one of two existing air handling units serving the CHEO Research Institute specifying that the unit must be custom painted in zebra pattern, the estimating team at S K Sheet Metal Ltd. weren’t sure if this was a bona fide owner request or perhaps a bit of engineering humour, but the equipment manufacturers and their agents really came through.

The rooftop location of these units is after all visible from patient areas, and CHEO (Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario) had taken on a 2021 project of creating a rooftop farm which included silhouette ducks, cows, bunnies and a pride horse! Why wouldn’t a zebra patterned air handling unit fit right in?

With a complex lift arrangement that including filing flight plans with NavCan due to the crane proximity of the helicopter landing pad and the challenge of Ottawa winter conditions, the zebra finally took flight on Friday March 11th with curious onlookers safely behind barricades. One owner representative commented that the experienced SKSM team made it look “easy peasy”.

CHEO has joined the many owners in Ottawa who have embraced a contract structure allowing the discipline with the most significant scope of work to tender as the Prime Contractor, after of course completion of a thorough pre-qualification process intended to demonstrate the bidders’ ability to coordinate multiple subtrades and manage general conditions while saving money for the end user.

CHEO Research Institute AHU2 Replacement is S K Sheet Metal Ltd.’s fourth significant project with the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario in as many years, the others being:
CHEO CT Scan – the addition of a second CT scan suite requiring dedicated air handling equipment both for ventilation but also cooling of magnetic resonating equipment
CHEO Ophthalmology Clinic – an interior fit-up of clinical space including VAV terminal units, perimeter hydronic heating and controls
CHEO Virology & Newborn Screening Labs – dedicated VRF cooling, for service to existing laboratory environment to compliment fume hood / make-up air and radiant heat systems

Thank you for choosing Regional Crane!!
