Construction is on schedule for the Dixie Regional Medical Center’s $300million consolidation, a merging of its two campuses and expansion on its River Road campus.

“We’ve been trying to consolidate

[these two campuses] for more than 10 years now,” said Scott Wyckoff, the strategic planning director of Intermountain Healthcare’s Southwest Region. “We knew it would take a while because of how expensive it would be to fund it, and the downturn in the economy delayed it.”

A primary driver for the project is the area’s expected population growth. “We usually plan between the five-to 10-year window, so this consolidation should provide us with services for the community at least through that time frame,” he

added. “There is some shelled space within the project, where we will be able to add in-patient beds or other services as needed. Hopefully, this will take us beyond 10 years, if we’re able to manage the utilization efficiently.”

The center’s current footprint is 425,000 sq. ft. (39,483 sq m) on River Road and 200,000 sq. ft. (18,580 sq m) in its downtown offices. The campuses on River Road are currently 1.5 mi. (2.4 km) apart, and patients must travel between buildings for services. Following its consee MEDICAL page 6

UPS Breaks Ground on New $275M Salt Lake City Facility UPS will build a new regional operations hub in Salt Lake City that will be among the largest processing facilities in its global package network. The $275 million project joins other significant capital investments announced over the past 24 months focused on new construction combined with modernization and expansion of top tier UPS hubs in the United States to address planned growth.

When completed in late 2018, the new 840,000 sq. ft. facility will process 69,000 packages per hour as a complement to the existing 200,000 sq. ft. operations in town.

“This new regional hub is one of our strategic ini-

tiatives to continue to build the long-term future of UPS,” said Mark Wallace, UPS senior vice president of global engineering and sustainability. “Utah is the crossroads to serving the Western U.S., and the stateof-the-art automation technology being deployed will improve performance, increase capacity and create additional flexibility to handle the non-stop growth of e-commerce business in the region.”

Wheeler Provides Solar Power for Net Zero Community Jonathan Campbell, vice president of sales and rentals of Wheeler.

Living Zenith is Utah’s first net zero community setting a standard for energy efficiency in the state.

Constructed by Redfish Builders, each Living Zenith unit is made with high thermal barriers, an air tight exterior, efficient appliances, triple-paned windows, LED lighting and low-flow water fixtures and toilets.

Living Zenith is Utah’s first net zero community setting a standard for energy efficiency in the state.

With smart tech and strategic design, these green homes generate as much energy as they use in one year. Net zero is achieved through three key factors: design site right, seal it tight and power with sunlight. Caterpillar solar photovoltaic systems, provided by Wheeler Power Systems, a division of Wheeler Machinery Co., power these homes. The systems are designed with capacity to export surplus electricity to the local power grid and optional energy storage systems which will allow the homes to draw upon solar power even when sunlight is not available.

“Wheeler Power Systems is thrilled to be a part of this innovative, cutting edge project. This development is a shining example of what can be achieved when economic development is balanced with environmental stewardship.

We look forward to future projects that, like this one, exceed the expectations of our customers while contributing to the sustainability of our beautiful state,” said Jonathan Campbell, vice president of sales and rentals of Wheeler.

Living Zenith is the outcome of a multifaceted collaboration of the Governor’s Office of Energy Development, Salt Lake City’s Sustainability Department, Wheeler Power Systems, Portland Energy Conservation Inc., Utah Clean Energy, University of Utah and other innovators committed to improving Utah’s air quality.

“The Living Zenith project is a

further demonstration of Utah’s leadership on energy innovation, delivering solutions to advance energy efficiency, address air quality, and meet the demands of our growing population,” said Dr. Laura Nelson, the Governor’s energy advisor and executive director of the Governor’s Office of Energy Development. “We’re proud to promote Governor Gary R. Herbert’s collaborative spirit across industry to continue to elevate Utah’s high quality of life.”

solidation, the center will encompass more than 800,000 sq. ft. (74,322 sq m) with the addition of four buildings added to the campus.

Wyckoff said the center’s master plan included this consolidation, and “the new construction will fit into the existing campus as planned. There’s not a whole lot of disruption to the existing campus. Most of it is just making all the connections work.”

Although the project could be regarded as an expansion, Richard Dunn, project manager said that consolidation best describes the project, because “it’s more about getting all our services in one location.” Healthcare services being moved to the campus include women and newborn services, behavior health, neuro-rehabilitation services and clinic services, such as infusion therapy and cancer treatment.

Three years ago, Intermountain Healthcare gave approval to move forward with the planning, programming, and design phases of the project.

Sennebogen Works Hard at Utah Metal Works Yard For the equipment needs of family-owned Utah Metal Works (UMW), purpose-built Sennebogen material handlers compare favorably to what’s available on the market. But it’s not just about machine price and features.

Third-generation co-owner, Chris Lewon has zero reservations about what the differentiator is whenever UMW is faced with an equipment buying decision. The local dealer, in this case Rasmussen Equipment Company, is the key.

“Like it or not, equipment does have its downtime. It’s part of doing business,” explained Lewon.

“The equipment gets beat up — it does — and it is going to go down at the wrong time, at the worst time. Your relationship with the dealer, and having immediate access to parts and service, is extremely important.”

Wheeled Material Handlers Fit the Bill UMW made the move to Sennebogen material handlers 12 years ago, when the company modernized its busy 10-acre, mostly non-ferrous metal scrap recycling yard in Salt Lake City. This upgrade included paving more than 90 percent of the yard with concrete, directing Lewon toward purpose-built wheeled machines and away from traditional converted tracked excavators.

“We went with Sennebogen for a couple of reasons: One, access to some of the most common parts that typically fail, like hoses and fittings, and the accessibility to easily change in and out those parts. Second, we had a longstanding relationship with Rasmussen Equipment, which sells and services Sennebogen equipment here locally,” said Lewon. “We thought that the service and having ready access to parts through a local dealer would be advantageous to us longer term.”

Now, more than a decade later, UMW’s Sennebogen material handlers work in the company’s recycling yard. From a scheduled engine replacement all the way down to a sudden hydraulic hose replacement, having a wellstocked, well-trained dealer available nearby is essential to Lewon.

“That $30 part all of the sudden

That precision — the grapple is almost an extension of the operator’s hand — has earned good comments from truck drivers and other customers bringing scrap metal to the UMW yard. Metal is picked off trailers without ripping up the plywood and boards often in place as temporary sides on the flatbeds.

“I always joke with customers, ‘If you want, the operator can scratch your back with the grapple.’ Nobody ever takes me up on that,” Lewon said with a laugh.

“They could do it. I don’t encourage it of course. But it is a compliment to the responsiveness of the hydraulics and the operator’s skill.”

In the beginning, there was “a leap” for the operators first moving to purpose-built material handlers, “but there’s absolutely no way going back now,” he said. “It was a fairly quick learning curve. Once they had some time in that Sennebogen, they sure as heck didn’t want to The 821 easily reachgo back.” es into the pile.

S e n n e b o g e n ’s hydraulically-raised maXCab “definitely gives an extreme advantage to our operators in being able to pinpoint and put material where they want it,” said Lewon. “They also have greater visibility when either unloading trucks or loading trucks, and also feeding the equipment and Korea, with a considerable we run, particularly the wire chopamount heading to local foundries ping equipment.” in the western United States that make steel, aluminum, stainless Strong Dealer Support and brass castings.

becomes a $10,000 downtime incident,” he explained. “The cost of whatever fails is greatly exceeded in about two seconds of downtime, so that’s where it is really important to have a working relationship with the dealer’s parts and service folks to keep this equipment up and running.”

Company Sizes Up Machines With its latest Sennebogen, Utah Metal Works made the move from the 52,800 lb. (23,950 kg) 821 M machines to the beefier 64,250 lb.

(29,144 kg) 825 M. The larger machine offers more reach and lift capacity, yet maintains the maneuverability required on the compact Salt Lake City site.

“The 825 is our workhorse, no question,” said Lewon. “We looked at the next size up and we could probably use it in most of the applications. However, there are some where a larger machine would be a little tight for our facility. The 825 seems to be a very good size for what we consider to be a medium-size processing facility. And we don’t do a tremendous amount of steel — ferrous material — and the larger-capacity machines seem to be a little more geared for that.”

A Long History of Scrap Recycling Purchased in 1955 by three brothers, including Lewon’s grandfather Harry, Utah Metal Works quickly transitioned to the recycling focus it retains today under the direction of Don Lewon, chairman of the board and Don’s two sons, Mark, president and Chris, vice president.

“I tell people who are not familiar with the metals recycling business that we’re kind of a reverse wholesaler,” said Chris Lewon. “We buy from thousands of customers and then sell to a few hundred.”

Scrap metals from industrial operations ranging from aerospace and transportation, manufacturing to construction and demolition are trucked in to the UMW yard. They are sorted for sale to local and international customers, who use the cost-efficient recycled alloys in their manufacturing processes.

“Most of the material we source is within a 500-mile radius,” said Lewon, “but when we package material, then it has the ability to travel internationally, as well as stay locally.” Shipments have been made to as far away as India, China
