Ductwork Fabrication for Two COVID-19 Field Hospitals

Unique Metal Works, Arden Engineering Constructors and Earthwise Energy Technologies participated in the construction of two COVID-19 field hospitals located in Providence and Cranston, Rhode Island.

Unique Metal Works along with their sister companies, Arden Engineering Constructors and Earthwise Energy Technologies participated in the construction of two COVID-19 field hospitals located in Providence and Cranston, Rhode Island. The completed field hospitals created 935 additional patient beds for the anticipated COVID-19 surge in Rhode Island.

Construction started Monday, April 6, with two 12-hour shifts running seven days a week. On April 18, the project finished.

Unique worked tirelessly to fabricate 6,000 feet of spiral exhaust ductwork with connection to plenums to provide “negative air flow″ and prevent the escape of possible contamination.

Unique Metal Work’s ability to fabricate and install ductwork streamlined productivity providing project cost efficiency and greater quality control.
