Selected at early schematic design phase, MMC Contractors provided complete plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical preconstruction services, BIM, fabrication, and construction of the major project for the new North Alabama Medical Center replacement hospital. The 500,000-SF project covers nearly seven acres on the first floor of the 5-story project.

MMC Contractors’ superintendent determined that early prefabrication of underground and rough-in plumbing and piping systems would allow the project to stay on schedule. The aggressive 24-month schedule for a project of this size encouraged other trades to join MMC Contractors and establish a multi-trade fabrication shop on the site. As a result, entire systems were prefabricated to allow for minimal field welds, assuring a faster installation process with higher quality systems.

The 263-bed hospital will replace a 100-year old facility bringing true state-of-the-art healthcare to the population of northern Alabama. The new facility opened in December 2018.
