Cauldwell-Wingate Co.

Scope Of Work

Cauldwell Wingate was retained as Construction Manager for a series of complex infrastructure upgrades to support Northwell Health’s implementation of an electronic health records program at Lenox Hill Hospital. The new MEPS backbone and distribution encompasses several projects, including the conversion of a disused elevator shaft and other spaces into 20+ new IT Closets across multiple buildings on the campus. New HVAC and electrical systems have been installed, including two rooftop chillers and two air handling units to serve individual A/C units located within each of the IT Closets. Additionally, significant structural work was performed inside the elevator shaft and on the rooftops to support the new equipment. The project scope was increased to add a new Con Edison electrical service with routing through existing pharmacy and computer room spaces. Constructionoccurred in more than twenty locations throughout the hospital, often adjacent to operational spaces, which demanded sensitivity and clear communication, thorough planning (including ICRA and PCRA), first-rate protection and safety measures, and precise execution in order to minimize impact. Close coordination with numerous project stakeholders, including clinicians, the physical assets department, the design team, the hospital’s on-site engineering department, the health system’s safety and IT departments, and external IT and abatement consultants was required.
