Fort Irwin Hospital replaces Weed Army Community Hospital, and marks a significant milestone in the United States Department of Defense commitment to delivering world-class healthcare to all service members and their families. 

Mountain Group worked in partnership with Turner Construction and the Army Corp of Engineers to provide all quality control inspection and testing services for the $211M Replacement Hospital project at Fort Irwin, CA. Inspections included geotechnical oversight during foundation preparation for the structure, structural concrete, structural masonry, and structural steel inspections, as well as fireproofing application inspections needing during construction. 

The project is the first of its kind, combining LEED Platinum requirements along with a Net Zero energy consumption and a Net Zero carbon foot print. This project includes a 2.0Ms solar field, a 550,000 gallon water storage tank, underground sewage storage capacity of 475,000 gallons, and 50,000 gallons of diesel fuel storage which allows the facility to continue to operate for more than two weeks should all utility services be severed to the Army base. It will be the first healthcare facility in the Department of Defense to achieve LEED Platinum status.
