Fairview Health Services Chisago New MOB

Over the last 10 years Carlson-LaVine has completed 12 new buildings or expansions for Fairview Health Services. Chisago City, a location where we’ve completed projects for over 20 years, was the latest site to add a new building.

Challenges

  • Relocated the existing hospital cooling tower that was in the new building footprint with no impact to the existing medical center.

  • Completed significant soil corrections in excess of 12,000 cubic-yard which required cutting and filling the site at depths of 8–9 feet.

  • Worked with Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to remove all hazardous material from the site.

  • Discovered and relocated unknown utilities within the excavation area that fed nearby homes.

  • Multi-phased site work to create temporary entrances and ambulance roads to the existing medical center to allow patient and ambulance access throughout construction.

  • The ambulance garage that was in the construction area was kept operational throughout the entire project duration.

Highlights

  • Project was completed on the originally forecasted schedule and the new building was seeing patients on time.
