DPR Construction, one of the largest general contractors in the nation, is accustomed to working within challenging environments.

KEEPING INFECTION AT BAY AND PATIENT SATISFACTION LEVELS HIGH DURING RENOVATION
Brigham and Women’s Hospital needed to safely renovate several dozen patient rooms, on multiple floors, while the wing remained open to patients and staff. Their construction service provider, Suffolk, and their Infection Control team knew from past experience STARC would be their preferred system for this renovation.
100% APPROVED BY EPIDEMIOLOGISTS
Facility crews at Wexner are constantly working on renovations to patient wings and emergency service areas but must also attend to any last-minute situations. ICRA compliance is the top priority during renovations and repairs. Plastic sheeting and drywall were labor intensive and environmentally unfriendly.
100% ICRA COMPLIANCE REQUIRED
Abbott Northwestern Hospital renovated their central processing plant for surgical instrument sterilization. There was no room for error in this renovation project. As the equipment was being replaced, their construction services partner was challenged with controlling all dust and debris, as well as insuring that the renovation area was 100% compliant with ICRA Class IV standards.
KEEPING PATIENTS SAFE DURING RENOVATIONS
Central Maine Medical Center (CMMC) provides vital medical services to a population base of 400,000 people in central and western Maine. The medical center needed to renovate its Emergency Department, while keeping it open and safe for staff and patients.
BUSY LOBBY TRANSFORMATION TO PHARMACY
Maine Medical Center (part of MaineHealth) renovated a space off the facility’s lobby into a new retail pharmacy. Opposite the construction area was the main security reception desk and employee registration desk, two high traffic work areas.
RENOVATIONS WITHOUT SCHEDULING IMPACT
St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center had a unique challenge: The facility needed to separate areas within its Wound Care program which included hyperbaric chambers. Because of code requirements, the hyperbaric chambers needed to be in an enclosed area, separated from the wound treatment area.
QUIET CONTAINMENT DURING RENOVATION
Central Maine Medical Center (CMMC) reconfigured several radiology suites to incorporate new technologies. Two radiology rooms shared a common control room; one room was being renovated. Construction containment was needed to isolate the wall separating the control room from the renovation area.
A LIGHTWEIGHT CONTAINMENT SOLUTION
Hebert Construction Project Superintendent Roger Bisson has always turned to STARC Systems for temporary wall solutions for projects at St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center. His crew repeatedly uses STARC’s RealWall product, which exceeds ICRA Class IV standards but LiteBarrier was introduced to his team as a premier alternative to polycarbonate systems.
