Harnessing Tools of the Trade
Building a hospital tower isn't a job for a simple spreadsheet.
In the latest issue of Medical Construction + Design (MCD), McCarthy Project Manager Gwen Arenberg explores how coordinated planning, scheduling and field technology keep crews aligned on today's most complex healthcare projects — from a shared 3D digital twin and Lean scheduling at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital, to extensive prefabrication at Barnes-Jewish Hospital Plaza West Tower, to the resourceful rural logistics problem-solving and storm-ready engineering at Citizens Health Medical Center.
Get a behind-the-scenes look at how digital models, Takt/Lean scheduling and daily huddle boards keep hundreds of crew members working from the same playbook, how prefabrication is compressing schedules while improving quality and safety, and how a strong culture of collaboration ties it all together across projects of every size.
