Ceco’s wide-module, concrete pan construction system was an ideal choice for the Edinburg Regional Medical Center in Edinburg, TX, to support this five-level patient tower’s high loads. The longer spans provide greater load-carrying capacity as well as a stiffer floor system with better vibration characteristics. Reduced vibration and sound characteristics contribute to patient comfort. The structural design also allows the facility to be repurposed over time. The void areas are free of post-tensioning cables, enabling coring to take place for later modifications without problems. Partition walls can be adjusted, allowing for easy relocation of heavy imaging equipment. Each floor is 24,000 square feet, with typical story heights of 13 feet 6 inches.
