The Encore Southpark

Located near Symphony Park and SouthPark Mall, Encore is a 280-room high-end apartment complex. S&ME performed construction materials testing and special inspections for the 3.2-acre site. The apartment consists of eight-levels of above-grade apartments with three levels of below grade parking. The cast-in-place concrete-framed structure contains post-tensioned elevated slabs and mat foundations supported by aggregate piers. Sitework included segmental retaining walls, asphalt paved parking and drive areas, an underground detention system, a BMP sand filter, a courtyard over the parking deck, and Barclay Downs road improvement.
