John Justin Tower

Harris Methodist Fort Worth embarked on a transformative expansion to meet the growing healthcare needs of the community. The project features a new 11-story surgery tower, with one level below grade, designed to enhance patient care and operational efficiency. This state-of-the-art addition integrates with the existing Richardson Tower through a specialized connector, ensuring continuity in patient services.

Scope of Work

The facility consists of a total of 11 stories, which includes one level below grade. It features 216 patient rooms, with 144 of these rooms fully built out in the initial phase. Additionally, there are 15 new operating rooms, along with PACU and pre-op spaces that are conveniently connected to the Richardson Tower, providing comprehensive care and support for patients. Our expertise in large-scale healthcare projects ensured the safe and efficient installation of complex electrical systems to support cutting-edge surgical and patient care technology.

Challenges & Solutions

Integrating the new surgery tower with the existing Richardson Tower involved meticulous planning and collaboration with contractors and hospital administrators to ensure seamless electrical connections. To support critical hospital operations, we implemented redundant power systems and backup generators for continuous service during power fluctuations. Throughout this project, we adhered to strict timelines and safety protocols, ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing patient care in the fully operational healthcare facility.

Results

Cummings Electrical is proud to enhance healthcare at Harris Methodist Fort Worth by adding 216 new patient rooms, improving access to care, and increasing surgical capabilities with 15 new operating rooms to reduce wait times. We’ve also strengthened electrical reliability to support critical functions and emergency preparedness. Our commitment to quality, safety, and innovation drives the success of essential healthcare infrastructure projects.
