Commonwealth Electric Company of the Midwest’s Greater Nebraska team has been awarded the Butler County Health Hospital Project Phases 3 and 4 in David City, NE. This project includes both an addition and renovation, featuring a 16,000-square-foot expansion on the northeast side of the hospital facility and a 6,000-square-foot renovation of the existing emergency department.

Brad and his team have demonstrated innovative thinking to accomplish this task. Utilizing existing conduits and panel cans from a 1960s building has presented many obstacles, but they have worked through them safely and efficiently to complete this project within the schedule and budget.

The project renovations include upgrading the existing emergency department into new exam rooms, nurse call systems, and access controls, which are intended to enhance patient comfort and care efficiency. Replacing an old 500-kW generator and transfer switch with a new 1,500-kW setup while maintaining hospital operations is a challenging aspect of this project, highlighting its complexity.

Commonwealth is working with General Contractor JE Dunn on this project, leveraging their previous collaboration on several hospital projects. This partnership brings experience and expertise that will contribute to the project’s successful completion for the community’s benefit.
