Project Location:
Saginaw, MI
Department Of Veteran Affairs – Lutz Medical Center
Challenges/Solutions:
Demolition of the existing building foundations were a project requirement. Careful and continues monitoring of the existing structures that were to remain was required to insure that this demolition effort was performed without damage to the prevailing building wall systems.
During excavation efforts, an existing duct bank was found to be in the footprint of the new foundation. Working with the client and architect, a new foundation design was established to protect the utility and allow for construction to continue.
RB Construction Company offered an alternative hydro, hi efficiency, elevator unit that was an upgrade to the design at no additional cost to the client.
