Work is well underway on the new St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital.  Now the footings and foundation for the new Dean Clinic in Janesville are visible!  This is a view looking toward the hospital from the front of the future clinic.

Pouring this foundation must have been a sight to behold! This concrete area is designated for the future ambulance garage near the hospital’s emergency department.

Above, you can see the hospital wall between the lower level or basement and the first floor radiology department.  Here, backfill soil was compacted against the foundation wall.

Ever wonder how you keep the ground from freezing when constructing a new building during the winter months?  Here’s one way: concrete blankets protect footing concrete from freezing at the site of the future ambulance garage.

It gets taller each time we post new pictures!  The elevator tower in the center of the St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital is taller than ever. Note the foundation walls are already backfilled in the foreground of this picture.

Here is likely your last glimpse of the hospital basement.  You’re taking a sneak peak at the central process area with a view of steel diagonal shoring.  The shoring braces foundation walls and allows for the walls to eventually be backfilled.  Pretty soon crews will be building upward.

This round concrete column resides in the loading dock area (south end) and will support steel from the second floor, which overhangs the loading dock.

More steel will be visible on site and we’ll bring you those pictures as soon as we can! Check back often for the latest news and progress.  Thank you for visiting and as always, tell us what you think below!
