Our engineers have worked with Rapid City Regional Hospital for over ten years. During that time, they were involved in the mechanical and electrical design of the 40,000 SF Cancer Care Institute, 70,000 SF Patient Tower renovation, Power Plant expansion, 150,000 SF expansion/renovation, Dialysis Unit, Same Day Surgery Center, PICU/NICU expansion/remodel, and OB expansion/remodel.

In February 2003 Skyline Engineering was selected as mechanical and electrical engineering consultants to implement the 6-year, $125 million master facility plan at Rapid City Regional Hospital.

Skyline Engineering recently worked with Rapid City Regional Hospital and Hughes Associates to prepare bid documents including specifications and plans for a complete Fire Alarm System Replacement of the Rapid City facility non-addressable system.

Our staff has been involved in many mechanical and electrical design changes at Regional Hospital including a 150,000 SF multi-phase, multi-department expansion and renovation project, the two-story, 40,000 SF Cancer Care Institute, a renovation of the 70,000 SF Patient Tower, the remodel and expansion of the Administration Department, a sixteen station Dialysis Treatment Unit, an Outpatient Surgery Center, the MRI Addition, the renovation of NICU, PICU, Pediatric and Intermediate Care Departments, a renovation and expansion of the Obstetrics Department, an Expansion to the Cancer Care Institute, and various specialized medical equipment installations. All of these projects have required fire alarm systems extensions with healthcare criteria.

This design-build project involved a 13,500 square-foot 2-story addition to the Behavior Management Center located in Rapid City, South Dakota.

The lower level of the addition is composed of a bedroom area, kitchen area, dining facility, group therapy area, laundry area, offices, and surrounding support space. The main level addition will be composed of office and support space.

This project involved a HVAC study and system upgrade in the 4,500 square foot Dietetics / Kitchen of the VA Medical Center in Hot Springs, South Dakota. The study focused on reducing energy usage by economically upgrading the systems contained within the facility.

System improvements include the replacement of two Make-up Air Units, upgrade of the HVAC pneumatic control to DDC, and upgrade of Kitchen Hood control system.

This project involved a study and upgrades to a 50+ year old steam distribution system throughout a 75 acre facility complex. The study identified and prioritized critical areas for steam piping removal and replacement. Both interior and buried exterior piping systems were reviewed. The facility distributes part of its high pressure steam through tunnels with the balance of the high pressure system distributed through approximately 1000 feet of buried piping.

Two projects developed from this study; one to replace an interior low pressure steam loop serving the hospital, and another to replace the main buried exterior line between the steam tunnel and the hospital.
