Temporary Door Protection, Doorguard Was Selected by Turner Construction to Protect the Doors of the New Jennie Sealy Hospital in Galveston, Texas.

DoorGuard, door protection is being used to protect hospital room doors from damage during construction. In addition, Surface Pro breathable floor protection was purchased from Builders Site Protection by the flooring contractor. The $438 million facility will feature 310 patient rooms, including 54 dedicated ICU beds, a 28-bed day surgery unit and 20 state-of-the-art operating suites. It will also connect to the new Clinical Services Wing, which will contain the pharmacy, laboratory space, support services (environmental services, materials management, linen) and a kitchen and faculty/staff dining area. Construction of the new hospital will provide the necessary clinical capacity needed before Phase II of John Sealy Modernization can begin.  More information is available on our press release:

Top 10 Things to Recycle at Your Construction Site

In this article, John Perritano rates the top 10 things to recycle-saving you money and the environment as well!  

According to the Construction Materials Recycling Association, construction and demolition waste are the largest sources of trash in the United States. The association says 325 million tons of recoverable construction debris is generated in the United States each year [source: Construction Materials Recycling Association]. In the past, all that metal, concrete, wood, block and asphalt would have ended up in a landfill. The key to a successful deconstruction project is to reuse what you can, and recycle the rest.

While not every bit of construction and demolition debris can -- or even should -- be recycled, much of what goes into a house can be reused. More information and the list is located with this link:
