This facility is a four-story structure with a total of 200,000 square feet of finished floor space. The structure includes below grade parking and is supported on a deep foundation system. Prior to construction of the facility, Thiele Geotech, Inc. provided environmental services including Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments, Petroleum Release Tier 1 Risk-Based Corrective Action, and supplemental environmental screening investigations. Additionally, Thiele Geotech, Inc. conducted multiple geotechnical explorations. Recommendations developed during the preliminary investigations included utilizing an under-slab drainage system to reduce the risk for water infiltration and provide a means for contamination mitigation. Final geotechnical recommendations were provided for deep and shallow foundations, retaining wall construction, overexcavation of existing uncontrolled fill, soil compaction, and pavements.
