Baylor Scott & White Medical Center Vertical Expansion 

IRVING, TX

 

 

 

Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Irving expanded with a new 7-story patient tower and Central Utility Plant (CUP). Cummings Electrical successfully managed infrastructure upgrades while maintaining hospital operations, completing the project on time and enhancing the hospital's reliability and efficiency.

Scope of Work

The expansion and renovation of Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Irving required a comprehensive electrical construction effort to support its growing infrastructure and patient care capabilities. The project included a new 7-story, 162,000-square-foot patient tower with 72 private rooms and smart care environments designed to improve patient experience and hospital capacity. A key component of the project was the construction of a new two-story Central Utility Plant (CUP), which houses critical infrastructure systems, including boilers, chillers, generators, and main-tie-main switchgear to support the hospital’s growing electrical and mechanical demands. 

Challenges & Solutions

One of the primary challenges was executing major infrastructure upgrades while maintaining full hospital operations. Cummings implemented temporary utility feeds to ensure essential power and systems remained online during cutovers. The team worked in active patient care environments, requiring detailed phasing, safety coordination, and continuous communication with hospital staff. Existing equipment had to be relocated and recommissioned without disrupting operations, with multi-phase commissioning ensuring every system was brought online seamlessly.
