Construction Scheduling: Typical Sequence
463
TYPICAL SEQUENCE
The following outline suggests a possible sequence for starting major
overlapping phases in the assembly of a systems hospital:
1. Sitework, foundations and erection of structure procedes in a
conventional manner.
2. Attach ceiling hangers to beams to define subzone boundaries. Start
internal service modules first, if there are any.
3. Assemble large distribution components on each floor and raise into
final position. Piping and other materials supplied in long sections can
be placed in temporary storage racks in the service zone at this time.
4. Install main vertical distribution components and large pieces of
equipment in the service bays.
5. Install two-hour partitions.
6. Install the exterior wall, omitting appropriate spandrel panels at the
service zone level for the continued delivery of material.
7. Install the platform, omitting appropriate panels for access. (This might
also be started prior to installation of the exterior wall.)
8. Install all remaining distribution components above the ceiling while
installing the topping slab and partitions below. (Flooring might be
installed before the partitions.)
9. Install all remaining heavy building equipment, including elevators and
materials-handling systems.
10. Conduct final tests on all operating systems.
11. Complete enclosure of the service zone by installing omitted panels of
the platform and exterior wall.
12. Install finishes, casework, fixtures and remaining equipment. (This
includes flooring if not already installed.)
13. Conduct final inspections and move in.
