Product catalog summary
Project Overview: South Cameron Memorial Hospital in Cameron, Louisiana, was severely damaged by Hurricane Rita in September 2005. As the only healthcare facility for the 10,000 residents of Cameron Parish, it provided essential services including emergency room, inpatient, and skilled nursing care.
Client Need: The primary goal was to rebuild the 29,000-square-foot facility quickly and incorporate the latest medical technologies to ensure high-quality care. Pacer Health Management Corp. led the initiative to restore healthcare services promptly.
Construction Approach: The project utilized a modular construction method, significantly reducing the timeline compared to traditional methods. Modular components and pre-engineered room interiors were manufactured off-site while site preparation occurred simultaneously, cutting the construction timeline by 50%.
Project Timeline: The modular project was completed in 11 months, compared to an estimated 24-36 months for traditional construction.
Project Outcome: Williams Scotsman, in collaboration with Don M. Barron Contractor and Wellness Environments, delivered a new facility comprising 38 modular components. The hospital includes 12,000 square feet of emergency facilities, 25 inpatient beds, and diagnostic imaging spaces. It was built 10 feet above sea level on 40-foot concrete pylons to withstand future storms.
Impact: The rebuilt hospital provides essential medical services to the community and supports local healthcare providers. The modular construction approach facilitated a faster recovery for the community.

Modular Buildings--Disaster Recovery-1

PROJECT CASE HISTORY SOUTH CAMERON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL Cameron, Louisiana Client Project South Cameron Memorial Hospital was one of the many casualties when Hurricane Rita struck Louisiana in September 2005.

Pacer Health Management Corp., the hospital’s management company, considered many different options during the planning process. Not only did they want to reopen the facility as quickly as possible, but also the organization was committed to incorporating the latest medical technologies to ensure residents would have access to the highest quality of care.
