THOMAS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
– South Charleston, WV
The Medical Office Pavilion at Thomas Memorial Hospital is a five-story, 85,800 sq ft building adjacent to the existing hospital. The project includes a two-story, 17,000 sq ft wing connecting the new facility to the main hospital. Underpinning was required for portions of the existing building foundation in order to provide a new ground floor elevation that is 14 ft below the ground floor of an adjacent building. The floors are framed with structural steel beams and a steel roof deck. Lateral loads are resisted by moment resisting frames in the east-west directions and braced frames in the north-south direction. Due to poor soil conditions, the main structural components are supported on an augercast pile foundation system extended to bedrock. The foundation system was designed to accommodate a future five-story clinical wing to be constructed adjacent to the Medical Office Pavilion.
