Healthcare, occupied hospital

St. Joseph Medical Center

Electrical work inside an operating hospital, phased and scheduled around patient care with planned shutdowns and infection control measures.

What we built

St. Joseph Medical Center is the white tower on the hill above downtown Tacoma and one of the busiest hospitals in the South Sound.

Tapps Electric works inside the hospital while it stays open. Work is phased around patient care, shutdowns are planned and approved ahead of time, and crews follow the hospital's infection control and interim life safety requirements.

Hospital work rewards planning. Every circuit that gets touched is traced first, so nothing that matters to a patient goes dark.
