Set on 69 hectares, this $61 million 917,374 sq m business park is home to four Class A buildings, with scope including the full development of all utilities, gas, water and roads on three separate sites.
Each building features 10 feet of glass at the entrance and standard 9 ¼ inch thick tilt wall panels. Crews also installed several retaining walls, as well as a retaining pond and a retaining pond with a spring.
This was also the first industrial building project for the city of Benbrook. Work began on this U-shaped site amid a concrete shortage, mitigated with the help of an on-site concrete batch plant. However, the team continued to monitor the volatility of available materials and additional costs that could affect the concrete tilt wall panel manufacturing schedule.
Building 3 has a fill of more than 35 feet vertically, retained by a stone gravity retaining wall of equal elevation. To achieve this, the team used excavated material from other construction sites, which helped avoid excessive trucking costs. All excavation backfill was monitored and tested for proper moisture, compaction and density to prevent future building movement.
