McCarthy Building Companies Completes Structural Steel Ahead of Schedule on St. Jude Medical Center’s New Patient Tower in Fullerton, CA

  

FULLERTON, CA.—July 26, 2012—The St. Jude Medical Center patient tower project recently reached a major construction milestone when iron workers secured the final structural steel beam atop the four-level structure.

Located on the northern side of the existing medical campus at Bastanchury Road and Harbor Boulevard, the $285.4 million hospital tower project is 35% complete and three days ahead of schedule. Construction began on the project in September 2011.

The design/build team of McCarthy Building Companies and TAYLOR are working with Petra-ICS (Formerly St. Joseph Health System) to build the project which includes a new patient tower, central utility plant and parking structure.

Over the two month long steel erection phase, iron workers from Schuff Steel erected approximately 2,650 tons of structural steel using a 300 ton lattice boom truck crane with a reach of 250 feet.
