At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, when hospitals across the country faced unprecedented capacity challenges, Beachview Logistics was urgently called upon to support Yale New Haven Health–Bridgeport Hospital in Connecticut. The mission: build a fully functional temporary emergency room facility (Tents) to absorb the overflow of critical patients.

Partners
Yale New Haven Health –Bridgeport Hospital
Location
Bridgeport, Connecticut
Performance Period
March 27, 2020 – June 9, 2020
Scope
Construction of Temporary Emergency Room Facility
Rapid Response–Air and Ground Deployment
Understanding the urgency, Beachview launched a dual-response mobilization strategy. While convoys of trucks carrying essential equipment and materials rolled toward Bridgeport, we simultaneously deployed a chartered aircraft with our critical logistics management team, ensuring immediate on-the-ground coordination and site preparation before the equipment even arrived. This agile approach allowed us to stay ahead of schedule and begin construction within hours of award.
Services Delivered
In a matter of days, Beachview built a 32-bed Emergency Room temporary hospital equipped to meet rigorous healthcare standards. The facility included:
Negative pressure air systems for infection control
Oxygen distribution throughout all patient bays
Dedicated IT command center for logistical coordination
Running hot water, full restroom and shower facilities
State-of-the-art medical equipment for acute emergency care
Reliable power systems with built-in redundancy and generators
On-site COVID decontamination services for safety and compliance
Crisis Relief
This fully integrated facility remained operational from March 27 through June 9, 2020,providing critical relief to Bridgeport Hospital during the peak of the crisis.
This project exemplifies Beachview’s unmatched ability to respond quickly and deliver complex medical infrastructure in times of crisis. By airlifting leadership and deploying assets simultaneously, we ensured that Yale Bridgeport Hospital could continue saving lives without interruption. Our rapid execution, innovative logistics, and healthcare-grade construction helped stabilize a community in one of its most vulnerable moments.
