A Solid Foundation
A creative approach to a large scale project.
The building foundation was constructed of 800 geopiers supporting concrete footings and approximately 750 lf of foundation wall. The structure was steel with a masonry block and brick veneer skin with interior walls being constructed of concrete masonry units. Due to the height of the building exceeding 84’ and the masonry construction, mechanical scaffolding was used to erect the exterior skin of the building and a hoist was utilized to deliver the CMU and other materials to the floors.
