This facility consists of an addition to the east side of the existing St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church and includes a new nave, sanctuary, office space, day chapel, and support space. Additional site improvements include a courtyard, bell tower, covered drop-off, soccer field, storm water detention basin, two large parking lots, and a two-tier four feet high retaining wall. The existing church will be repurposed as a social hall following completion of the project. Prior to construction, Thiele Geotech, Inc. conducted a geotechnical investigation. Recommendations were provided for extensive surface and groundwater management, pavements, shallow foundations, earthwork, earth retention structures, and floor slabs. During the construction phase, Thiele Geotech, Inc. observed structural steel placement, reinforced concrete, retaining wall installation, structural masonry, and welded and bolted connections. Materials testing was performed on soils, concrete, and grout throughout the project.
