Balfour Beatty, the international infrastructure group, announces that Balfour Beatty Construction US has been selected, in joint venture with McCarthy Building Companies, to provide design build services for the £325 million Fort Hood Replacement Hospital project at Fort Hood, Texas.
The 944,000 sq ft facility will replace the existing 45-year-old Carl R Darnall Army Medical Center and provide a new state-of-the-art healthcare facility for US service members and their families.
Construction on the project for the US Army Corps of Engineers is scheduled to start in April 2011 and complete in May 2014. The project, which will include a hospital, outpatient clinics, ambulance garage, logistics building, central utility plant and three parking structures, is partially funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Balfour Beatty Construction US Chairman & CEO, Robert Van Cleave, said: "We are delighted to have been selected for this major infrastructure project and look forward to delivering, in conjunction with our partners, a world-class hospital environment."
The project will showcase numerous innovative sustainable features and will be designed and built to LEED Gold certification standards. The project team will maximise the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) tools to help facilitate collaboration and co-ordination of all project aspects during design and construction.
