The new state-of-the-art proton facility is a 53,000-square-foot type 2B unprotected facility, consisting of cast-in-place concrete, structural steel framing with composite roof decking. The project is a very complex, medical treatment facility that requires unusually stringent tolerances for materials and equipment. While ADG Blatt acted as the owner’s “eyes and ears” providing on-site inspection services, the firm was also charged with building and maintaining good communication on the site.

This was particularly challenging in an environment where equipment design drives the building details. Because of the fast track nature of the project, equipment was designed and manufactured concurrently with the construction process. ADG Blatt worked to achieve timely and effective communication among all parties in order to identify any issues that would have a negative impact on the project.

Even though equipment was redesigned in Switzerland during construction, the facility was completed, including equipment installation and testing, in a world-record 27 months. It is only the sixth center in the United States providing proton therapy to treat a variety of cancer tumors.
