Akron Children’s Hospital Addition Approaches Completion By Irwin Rapoport CEG CORRESPONDENT
Akron Children’s Hospital is eagerly awaiting the addition to the existing Considine Professional Building by Welty Building Company Ltd. The $82 million, 230,000 sq. ft. addition began in March 2017 and will be completed in the summer of 2018. The new addition continues the campus transformation that began in 2012 with the Kay Jewelers Pavilion. This building included a new emergency department, neonatal intensive care unit and GOJO Outpatient Surgery Center. The Considine Building, an eight-story building located on 2.25 acres at the southeast end of the hospital’s campus, will be connected to the main hospital and Kay Jewelers Pavilion via a 250 ft. long elevated bridge over Bowery Street. With the addition, the Considine Professional Building will grow to 480,000 sq. ft. This most recent expansion of the hospital’s master plan provides subspecialty practices in The Akron Children’s Hospital addition will add 230,000 sq. ft. to the hospital.
Akron and allows the hospital to consolidate functions such as outpatient clinics and programs currently located in leased downtown sites. The addition consists of 94,500 sq. ft. of clinical space; 47,700 sq. ft. of offices; and another 53,700 sq. ft. that will allow for the expansion of future business objectives. The original estimates for construction costs were more than $100 million. These estimates were validated by third party estimators at market value. The team, using an integrated lean project delivery method, worked together to decrease costs to $82 million. This system emphasizes open and honest collaboration to eliminate construction waste and maximize value. During a 10-month planning and pre-construction period, the team, consisting of the owner, designers and contractors, worked together on more than 450 innovative ideas that were documented and communicated through an A3 process. see HOSPITAL page 6
Minnich Manufacturing Hosts AEM I Make America Event
C
oinciding with Minnich Manufacturing’s 50th Anniversary, the company served as host to the Association of Equipment Manufacturer’s (AEM) I Make America event at its facility in Mansfield, Ohio on May 1, 2018. In its ninth year, AEM’s I Make America campaign is a grassroots effort with over 40,000 supporters and is designed to encourage equipment manufacturers and their employees to become involved and take action on issues impacting the industry. Established in 1968 by Roger Minnich, the company began operations as a manufacturer of high cycle concrete vibrators for use in the road paving industry, operating out of a converted three-bay auto repair shop in downtown Mansfield, Ohio. Minnich’s innovations include the introduction of a hydraulic vibrator which is still used on concrete pavers today.

product line to include hydraulic vibrators and a hydraulic conversion package allowing for the quick changeover of a hi-cycle paver into a hydraulic paver. In 1985, the company added dowel pin drills to drill holes into concrete slabs for patch jobs or lane additions to its product lineup. The company continues to introduce new equipment, such as the vibrator monitoring system, a remote controlled dowel pin drill and a compact, lightweight drilling machine used for gas leak detection and extraction holes. Minnich Manufacturing remained at its initial location in Mansfield, adding buildings to the original structure to accommodate growth for over 40 years. In 2011, the company relocated to its current facility in Mansfield, Ohio. The new 50,000 sq. ft. structure, housed on an 18-acre property, was designed and built to see MINNICH page 4

Work on Akron Children’s Hospital Remains on Schedule
The project remains on schedule despite an initial six-week delay due to structural steel delivery. HOSPITAL from page 1
Welty crews broke ground on March 6, 2017 with an aggressive 17-month construction schedule. To meet these high demands, the team coordinated through a 100 percent 3D model that included every building component from structural steel to the nuts and bolts in the ductwork. This highly-coordinated effort was led by Phillip Nagle, Welty virtual design manager. Through the model, critical components of the building were pre-manufactured and installed as unitized components, decreasing installation time and increasing efficiencies. “The shell of the building consists of 218 panels that were built off site and delivered with the windows, brick ties and AVB already installed, which dramatically reduced the enclosure schedule,” said Brad Nagy, assistant superintendent. The project has endured many harsh conditions due to the Ohio climate. March of 2018, for example, was on average 10 degrees colder than is typical and had 30 percent more precipitation than is average this time of year for the region. Luckily, weather-related delays only temporarily hindered the project, and the project’s critical path was maintained. “By May we had departments moving into the fourth floor while the building was still under construction on the other levels,” said Greg Komar, Welty project manager. A temporary occupancy permit allowed the team to move forward on renovation work on the existing Considine 4th Floor. The work to prepare the site started in March 2017 and was completed in early summer 2017 by demolition and excavating company Kiehl Building Services Corp. “A large underground network of existing mechanical systems and the abandoned

foundations of previously demolished buildings provided roadblocks early on in the project during excavation,” said Nagy. “During the excavation of the first floor of the building, we hauled out approximately 25,000 yards of dirt leaving only enough fill material on site to be able to back-fill without having to bring any outside dirt in. After excavation was completed, we utilized [more than] 1,500 tons of stone for a working pad in the excavation and for crane roads above.” The steel erection began in mid-July 2017 by Forest City Erectors Inc. “We did encounter six-week delays in the structural steel delivery due to the amount of work going on in the construction industry,” said Among the shared machines are JLG aerial and all 4x4 scissor lifts.
