Lesson Learned/Best Practice
When bidding the project, if the specifications include Victaulic Grooved Couplings & Fittings, engage the HCA Construction Manager and design team on accepted locations of use. There are specific locations within existing & new buildings where this product can be used. As a rule of thumb open mechanical rooms are acceptable, but only if not located above patient care areas. We believe it is best to handle on a case by case basis.
Suggested Actions for Future Projects
Make decisions in early planning stages to include all players, providing accurate pricing & schedule implications. Begin early conversations with HCA team members and design.
Actions Taken / Current Status
