St. Luke's Medical Center Cardiac Center and Patient Tower, Milwaukee, Wisconsin: Case Study – Construction Issues
The unique design aspects of the 12-story, 430,000-s.f. (40,000m2) Cardiac Center and Patient Tower Addition in Milwaukee, Wisconsin led to innovative construction procedures. A major challenge of the project was erecting the superstructure over and through a seven-story, 1,500-car parking structure while maintaining the parking structure's functionality during the 3½-year construction process. To perform this work, the parking deck was extensively shored to support a 65-ton (60mton) drill rig. Drilled piers were then placed from the top of the parking structure and extend to end bearing in bedrock approximately 100 ft. (30m) below grade. Above grade, the majority of the new structure is supported by 85-ft. (26m) tall un-braced columns and 32-ft. (11m) deep steel trusses, which bridge the west portion of the parking structure. The design-build project delivery method was successfully used on this project and assured that the construction restrictions of the hospital's limited campus size were integrated into the design process from the beginning.
