MRI Replacement Project & North Retaining Wall Status

MRI Replacement Project & North Retaining Wall Status

MRI Replacement Project 

The MRI Replacement Project, which began in September 2019, is on schedule.

On Thursday, Jan. 23, prework to install the new MRI machine will take place on the roof of the southeast wing. The roof will be opened to weld a steel post to support the screen wall, a rain collar will be installed on the MRI duct fan, and roofers will install a safety rail around the exhaust fan. There will be welding on the roof as well as use of a torch to melt snow and ice. A portable gas welder will emit some sound and potentially some gas odors. Work will begin at 7 a.m. and will continue throughout the day.
