Brookhaven Memorial Hospital’s Knapp Cardiac Center - Patchogue, NY

Patchogue, NY Racanelli Construction Company, Inc., a leading construction management, general contractor and design/build resource for commercial, industrial, retail, medical, pre-engineered and multi-unit residential projects, has completed the addition/renovation of Brookhaven Memorial Hospital’s KNAPP Cardiac Center. The company served as the construction manager on a major renovation of 17,000 s/f on the existing facility, integrating it with the new 58,000 s/f four-story building.

The project involved structural steel and masonry work, the application of exterior metal panel systems, and the installation of an EPDM roof (i.e., a highly durable synthetic rubber roofing membrane comprised of ethylene proplylene diene monomer). The new building also involved the development of four new operating room (OR) suites, EP/CATH lab suites, Nuclear Gamma Camera/Stress facility, PACU areas, offices and doctors’ lounges. New sheet vinyl flooring, ceramic and terrazzo tile, vinyl wall covering, specialty wood ceilings, plastic laminate millwork, and Corian and stone countertops also were provided in the renovation.

A particular challenge Racanelli Construction addressed in the KNAPP Cardiac Center project addition/renovation was to effectively deliver a medical facility incorporating critical mechanical systems and accommodating vital medical systems (e.g., the Ors, EP/CATH lab and Nuclear Gamma Camera). Another challenge Racanelli addressed was proceeding with its construction work within the existing hospital without disruption to the adjacent Emergency Department and ancillary department operations.

Racanelli Construction has been helping meet the facility and expansion needs of Brookhaven Memorial Hospital for over 15 years. The company has been involved in such projects as the construction of the hospital’s main canopy, dialysis center, ambulatory surgery center, emergency department, hyperbaric center and its Oakdale offices.

The project value was $41 million.
