Bellin Health Ambulatory Surgery Center

Quality Insulators, Inc. installed over twenty miles of insulation for Bellin Health’s Ambulatory Center within nine months making it one of the largest projects completed considering cost, manpower and time to completion. The proficiency required when working with two mechanical contractors, Tweet Garot (plumbing) and August Winter & Sons (HVAC), fundamentally affected QI’s design and timeline. Collaboration with fellow stakeholders, Miron Construction and Bellin’s Intermediary, was extensive and critical for meeting objectives. The original contract was delivered on budget and on time regardless of additions and adjustments. Factors contributing to the success were scheduling adaptations, workforce flexibility, mitigating equipment delays, and technical expertise in diverse installation methods when access was limited, and typical chronological installation was unachievable. In early 2022, QI implemented our Sustainability Program. Knauf and Johns Manville meets QI’s sustainability material supplier standard by supplying insulation that passes Greenguard Certification requiring results that meet chemical emission standards. Overall project management led to a contract extension of $249,401 for Phase 2. This would not be possible without a commitment to safety resulting in QI having no workplace injuries contributing to a Total Recordable Incident Rate of zero, one of the proudest, yet expected contributing factors to the project success.
