BERGEN COUNTY'S BUSIEST
EMERGENCY AND TRAUMA CENTER
GETS A FACE LIFT
111,000 PATIENTS. 5 PHASES. 1 SUPER BOWL. RENOVATING AND EXPANDING A FULLY OPERATIONAL
EMERGENCY AND TRAUMA CENTER FOR HACKENSACK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER.
HackensackUMC's Emergency and
Trauma Center (ETC) treats more
than 111,000 patients every year,
making it one of the busiest ETCs in
the state of New Jersey. Gilbane is
currently managing the construction
of HackensackUMC's renovation and
expansion project.
Being conducted in five phases, the
project will increase efficiency and
bring state-of-the-art facilities to
HackensackUMC's patients. Once
complete the ETC will have more
patient beds, larger patient rooms,

private rooms, physician technology
access in patient rooms, five trauma
bays and a 12 bed cardiac pod.
All work is being conducted right
in the heart of the Emergency
and Trauma Center. Through
comprehensive planning and
scheduling, each phase is chartered
to ensure the ETC remains fully
operational during construction.
This requires continuous movement
and careful choreography–building
temporary spaces, relocating ETC
functions while working on new
spaces, moving functions into newly
completed new spaces, and building
temporary bypass corridors to
maintain flow through the ETC.
Recently, Gilbane started the second
part of Phase 3, which is to relocate the
ETC's waiting room.
Last year, Gilbane completed Phases 1
and 2 in time for HackensackUMC to
serve as the trauma center for Super
Bowl XLVIII which was held at MetLife
Stadium. The first two phases included
work on 29 private patient rooms,

five trauma bays, two provider stations,
a reconfigured ambulance drive,
relocation of the Pediatric Emergency
Department with triage bays, and
private EMS.
Throughout the project patients are
encouraged to participate in a survey
to rate construction activity and how
easy it is to find their way through the
ETC. Patients have provided positive
feedback, saying the facilities remain
clean and clear direction and signage
are a huge help in navigating the
active construction site within the
operational Emergency and Trauma
Center.
High patient satisfaction and client
ratings have led Gilbane to additional

work within the hospital, including
work on the first floor corridor,
maternity area conference room
renovations, replacement of the CT
scan room, and facilitating emergency
lobby repairs.
The HackensackUMC Emergency
and Trauma Center renovation and
expansion project is scheduled for
completion in August 2016.

ENSURING QUALITY
CONSTRUCTION OF A
MODERN HEALTHCARE
FACILITY BUILT IN
26 MONTHS
THE JERSEY CITY MEDICAL CENTER WILZIG HOSPITAL PROJECT TEAM
PUT A QUALITY-IN-CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM INTO PLACE TO ENSURE
THE HIGHEST QUALITY WAS MET ON AN ACCELERATED SCHEDULE
The 345,000 SF, seven-story modern healthcare facility includes 360 beds, plus
a 45,000 SF Ambulatory Care Center (separate building). Project financing was
arranged through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development with
a fast-track, 26-month construction completion schedule.
As Construction Manager, Gilbane managed a six-day per week accelerated
project schedule in order to meet the project's timeline. Such a tight schedule
presented challenges regarding the quality of construction and installed
materials. Gilbane’s veteran team of key personnel successfully implemented a
Quality-in-Construction (QIC) program to address daily all aspects of the process
from document review and coordination with the Architect/Engineer to final
inspections and acceptance of the work. Gilbane assigned an “Inspections”
Superintendent to focus on the inspection process, including scheduling and
ensuring that all inspections were conducted plus securing all required approvals
from the Owner, Architect/Engineer and local officials. This allowed for the timely
installation of materials and construction without sacrificing the design intent.
Close communication and collaboration with the trade contractors also
facilitated meeting the fast-track schedule. More than 100 coordination drawings
for mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems installation were developed
with the trade contractors, and various successful solutions were jointly
developed and implemented in the field throughout the project.
