| ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI – McGrath & Associates has completed the renovation of an existing radiology room at Saint Louis University Hospital into an advanced, single-plane radiology suite featuring a Siemens Artis Zeego angiography system. BSA Lifestructures, Inc. was the architect. The new suite allows for the expansion of interventional radiology services at the academic medical center.
The new radiology suite will be used for interventional radiology (IR) and endoscopic procedures. McGrath added structural steel support beams under the existing first-floor slab to provide support for the Zeego robotic arm equipment. The project also required sheet lead radiation shielding. The room finishes included seamless vinyl flooring with a FlashCove base, and sheet wall protection. Installing the 2” and 3” conduit runs for the Siemens equipment cables presented a challenge, since the cables are made to specific lengths. This required careful coordination and planning to route conduit around structural obstacles to stay within the cable lengths. Because the project was built within an occupied hospital, McGrath followed strict contamination isolation and infectious prevention measures, to ensure a safe work environment and clean air quality for patients and staff. McGrath & Associates, celebrating its 30th year, is a 100 percent employee-owned general contractor and construction management firm with diverse experience in commercial, health care, industrial, institutional and pharmaceutical construction projects. McGrath is a member of the Associated General Contractors, the St. Louis Construction OSHA Partnership and has been named “General Contractor of the Year” by the American Subcontractors Association Midwest Council four times out of 15 nominations.
