S&ME provided geotechnical phase services for the 4-story, 132,178 sf medical office building and 4-story, 221,088 sf parking deck and associated site work. Geotechnical recommendations addressed shallow and deep foundations, below-grade walls for the MOB, shallow groundwater in the parking deck area, and lightweight, moisture-sensitive silts.

S&ME also provided construction materials testing and special inspection services for this project. These services included field density testing on the backfill placed for the below-grade cast-in-place concrete walls; reinforcing steel inspections for the foundations, walls, and slabs; and full-time observations during concrete placement, structural steel and precast concrete connection evaluations, and sprayed-on-fireproofing evaluations.
