WALKER
ARTS CENTER PARKING FACILITY
Minneapolis, MN
Engineering Partners was retained by Veit Companies,
a specialty subcontractor on the project to design
a tie-back solder pile and lagging system to support
excavated cuts which extend as deep as 57 feet below
existing grade. A special feature of the design
allows its inclusion in the permanent wall system. |
MINNEAPOLIS
PUBLIC LIBRARY
Minneapolis, MN
Engineering Partners was retained by Veit Companies,
the excavation subcontractor, to design the temporary
excavation support system for the new Minneapolis
Library being constructed in downtown Minneapolis.
The excavation, which varies to 27 ft. deep, is
supported with a soldier pile and lagging system.
The system consists of HP14X73 piles 8'-0"
o.c. driven to refusal in the Platteville Limestone
formation and then retained by either 1 or 2 rows
of 40 mm grouted bar anchors installed 8'-0"
to 10'-0" o.c. |
RAW
MATERIAL TANK FARM ADDITION
Chatham, VA
The project consists of the addition of 3-20,000 gal
above ground storage tanks used in the production
of composites and polymers. Engineering Partners competed
with several national and regional firms to win this
project. A key factor in the firm's selection was
an unsolicited recommendation to execute the work
under a design-build approach. Engineering Partners
formed the design-build entity and provided detailed
design for all civil, structural and electrical aspects
of the project, including an automated chiller system
to cool stored materials during the hot summer months.
Engineering Partners is also provided resident engineering
services during construction. |
IOWA
STATE ALUMNI CENTER
Ames, IA
Engineering Partners was retained by Veit Companies
to design the permanent retention system for the
foundation wall of the Alumni Center at Iowa State
University in Ames, Iowa. The wall consists of
double W14X38 soldier piles placed in drilled 36
in. dia. holes filled with concrete below the bottom
of the excavation line and K-crete above the line.
The wall varies from 30 ft. to 14 ft. high. The
wall serves as the back form of the poured foundation
wall and as a structural element to permanently
resist lateral earth pressures. The injection grout
type soil anchors, which ranged from 20 kip to 99
kip capacity and from
40 to 52 mm in dia., were placed in either one
or two rows based on the height of the wall. A
temporary soil nail wall was used to retain the
excavation beyond the permanent system.
