Advocate South Suburban Hospital, Surgical Procedural Center

Scope/Solutions

Advocate South Suburban Hospital needed to expand and upgrade their operating rooms to accommodate evolving technology for surgeries and cardiac procedures. The new Surgical Procedural Center combines a new addition with reconfigured spaces in the main hospital building. SGH provided building enclosure commissioning and building enclosure testing services for the addition.

SGH provided design-phase commissioning services, construction administration support, and construction-phase commissioning field testing for the building enclosure. Highlights of our work include the following:

Pre-Design and Design Phases

  • Reviewing the owner’s project requirements, building program, basis of design, and related design documents to compare with the design and performance expectations
  • Developing a building enclosure commissioning plan outlining roles, responsibilities, and communication methods, and summarizing the commissioning process
  • Preparing a building enclosure commissioning specification

Construction and Post-Construction Phases

  • Coordinating with the construction manager to plan for and schedule commissioning activities
  • Reviewing submittals and shop drawings for key systems
  • Visiting the site to observe building enclosure mockups and installation
  • Performing air and water testing of mockups and the installed storefront system; smoke testing penetrations and joints in opaque wall, doors, and roofing; testing sealant adhesion; and performing an infrared survey of the roof assembly
  • Conducting a ten-month post-occupancy warranty review
