Gulf Breeze Hospital - Construction Fun Facts

To put building materials used in our $5 million construction project in to perspective, here are some approximate comparisons with places and things we may be more familiar with:

• Brick: 105,000
  Placed end to end, they would stretch from 1110 Gulf Breeze Parkway to Panama City Beach.

• Structural Steel: 107 tons
  Equal to the weight of about 58 City of Gulf Breeze police cars.

• Rebar: 23 tons/span>
  That weighs about as much as about 13 full grown adult male Nile River hippopotamuses like the ones you would find at the Gulf Breeze Zoo.

• Concrete Masonry Units: 13,500
  That would run about the length of Gulf Breeze High School’s football field 45 times.
