500,000-SF Naval Replacement Hospital Project Tops Out

SAN DIEGO-The joint venture design-build team of Clark Construction Group LLC, and McCarthy Building Cos. Inc., has topped out the 500,000-square-foot Naval Replacement Hospital Project at Camp Pendleton, having erected more than 4,000 tons of structural steel to reach the milestone. When complete in early 2014, the new $394 million, multi-level hospital will encompass inpatient medical facilities with 54 patient rooms accommodating up to 60 beds, ancillary departments, emergency care, primary care, specialty care clinics, and support spaces and facilities for non-ambulatory patients who require stays in excess of 24 hours.

The Replacement Hospital at Camp Pendleton Project construction team has worked more than 250,000 man-hours over the past 14 months, with zero lost-time incidents, according to a prepared statement. The project is currently one month ahead of schedule.
