MIW Corp is one of a small number of CHB approved vendors/subcontractors, which are able to work within the hospital. We take pride in being able to perform our work, what is generally a very dirty/smoky profession, within a clean room atmosphere. Our employees utilize “smoke eaters” with heap filtration technology in order to reduce the amount of particulate release into the air during welding, grinding and cutting operations. Our supervision team always communicates what areas we are working in and determines if there are air intakes, smoke detectors or heat detectors within the vicinity of our work. We are always prepared with the required safety measure (extinguishers, permits, fire watches) in place prior to working in such a delicate and sensitive area such as a hospital.
This project consisted of the installation of (15) Operating Light/Medical Gas Booms within existing operating rooms under negative pressurization within a fully functional operating room suite. During each different situation we performed engineering calculations by a professional engineer liscensed in the state of Massachusetts in order to determine the proper size of the structure to withstand the loading and moment imposed on our steel.
In this project MIW Corp was retained to fabricate and install a canopy within an existing courtyard. As with all renovations or construction projects within an existing space, the walls and corner cannot be assumed to be square or true. In this particular case neither was true. While some walls were not plumb other corners were not square. Without the forward thinking of MIW’s supervision team and the construction managers team this canopy would not have been installed with as much ease. This canopy used innovative connection plates with a color galvanized finish to withstand the elements of the Northeast.
In addition to the above mentioned projects at the Children’s Hospital Boston, MIW Corp has also completed a number of projects within the past year.
