JH Kelly is providing the plumbing, HVAC and medical gas piping work scopes for a new ten-storey tower addition to Emanuel Hospital. The new tower is approximately 340,000 square feet with 176 patient rooms.

The new tower is on the existing Emanuel campus therefore there is limited lay-down area and there are criticial tie-ins into the exisiting hospital required. These include steam, condensate return, chilled and heating water and medical oxygen, air and vacuum.

The new tower adds a patient corridor from the existing hospital to the burn center.

The project began in June 2009 and is scheduled for completion in January 2013.
