Our team recently completed a design-build renovation for Cath Lab #3 at St. Joseph’s Medical Center in Stockton, CA, under HCAI jurisdiction. The project replaced outdated equipment with a new Philips Azurion FlexArm system, a major upgrade that enhances the hospital’s cardiovascular imaging capabilities.
The renovation scope included the installation of new monitor and surgical light booms, new boom structures, and a Unistrut rack to support ceiling-hung equipment. Existing entry doors and frames were replaced, now featuring fire alarm connected hold open devices. Updated casework and storage solutions were provided in both the Procedure and Control Rooms to enhance patient care delivery.
New flooring was installed with a pattern illustrating the C-arm field of motion to promote user safety. Medical gas system upgrades included new zone valve box alarm panels and new wall and ceiling outlets. A new pressure alarm system, tied into the building’s BMS, was added to monitor pressure differentials between the Procedure Room and Corridor. The existing scrub sink in the Corridor was replaced with a new unit.
The new hard-lid ceiling in the Procedure Room includes laminar flow registers meeting current code criteria and a dimmable LED lighting system integrated with the Philips foot pedal controls. The site was upgraded with new isolation panels and 480V emergency power to support the full system UPS and increased power requirements. Updates to Fire Alarm and Nurse Call systems were also completed for compliance.
Because the work took place in an active Cath Lab department—adjacent to both the Surgery and ICU areas—our team implemented the highest level of infection control measures and collaborated closely with the design team, end users, owners, and subcontractors to ensure safety, efficiency, and minimal disruption to hospital operations.
We’re proud to deliver another healthcare project that supports advanced patient care and continues our strong partnership with the St. Joseph’s Medical Center team.
