VCUHS - CCH Helipad Connector

M&E helped a valued customer install a new, conditioned space to transfer patients to and from an existing helipad more than 10 stories in the air. The site had to be demobilized for every helicopter that landed with patients, which gave this project a unique risk and scheduling challenge each day. These projects are very fulfilling to be a part of knowing that the finished product gives VCU clients a bit more comfort when they first arrive onsite.
