Transforming CT Room for Efficiency
Proton Therapy CT Replacement | Seattle, Washington
DPR Construction recently led the successful completion of a CT equipment upgrade at the Fred Hutch Proton Center at Northwest Hospital. The project involved removing and replacing the existing CT Simulator and reconfiguring the room layout to accommodate a Dual Energy CT Simulator in a more efficient vertical orientation at the center of the space.
About the Project
DPR's project team managed all aspects of the CT Room upgrade, including light demolition, installation of new mechanical systems, and finish improvements throughout the room. During construction, the team recognized the design wasn’t accurately accommodating the cooling requirements for the new CT. To resolve the issue, they coordinated with the owner and design team to add additional cooling load to meet the requirements, without exceeding the project’s overall budget.
During the room reconfiguration, the laser cabinets fell right where the existing med gas was located. This design conflict was identified during construction and DPR's team worked with the design team to obtain the necessary permits and approvals without impacting the substantial completion date.
