In the midst of its largest construction project to date, the University of Rochester is utilizing unique construction equipment to implement its brand new emergency department and patient tower.
A pile driver allows the crew to create a strong foundation for the building by vibrating sheets of metal into the ground that weigh thousands of pounds. This will limit the noise and vibrations in the finished patient care areas.
The pile driver has made the process more expedient and limits the amount of heavy, protective clothing crews need to wear while out in the heat.
The University of Rochester hopes to have the project complete by 2027.
