Mercy Hospital Joplin

The state-of-the-art hospital houses central sterile mechanical rooms, operating rooms, patient rooms and a clinic tower. U.S. Engineering participated in the engineering design by modeling directly with BIM fabrication software and simultaneously performing preconstruction services. The U.S. Engineering team’s expertise and precision shaved months off the construction schedule.
