STRUCTURES PRESORTED STANDARD U.S. POSTAGE PAID WINCHESTER, VA PERMIT NO. 213 August 2015 Issue 1 STRUCTURES The Shockey Precast Group 219 Stine Lane, Winchester, VA 22603 www.shockeyprecast.com Precast Provides the DNA for Success guide the architect, Tim Haahs & Associates, toward selection of a precast design. The hospital’s existing cast-in-place garage was in overall poor condition, and this factor also contributed to THA’s preference for a precast design for the replacement garage. THA performed an analysis of both the precast and cast-in-place designs, and ultimately determined that only precast construction would allow for the speed ramp to remain open throughout erection of the structure. Project: Temple University Health System Ontario Street Parking Structure Location: Philadelphia, PA Owner: Temple University Architect: Array Architects Engineer: Timothy Haahs & Associates, Inc. General Contractor: Shoemaker Construction Company Precaster: The Shockey Precast Group Located in the north section of Philadelphia, in a high-traffic area between an operating medical facility and a residential neighborhood, the site of Temple University Health System’s Ontario Street Parking Structure project offered numerous construction challenges, including limited site access, a small project footprint, and a fast-track construction schedule. Additionally, framing had to be completed around an existing speed ramp that needed to remain open throughout the project as it provided access to the hospital morgue and for outside deliveries to the hospital. Shockey’s business development manager worked closely with general contractor Shoemaker Construction during the early design development phase of the project, providing budgets and design considerations to help The Shockey Precast Group manufactured and transported a total of 576 pieces of precast, including 140,000 SF of double tees for the five-level parking structure. Due to the limited site access, Shockey leased a drop lot from Amtrak five blocks from the construction site. Shockey coordinated the precast erection, which was performed by union labor and required the use of a 440-ton crane set 20 feet below grade level to erect six of the nine bays. The crane was brought into the site using the speed ramp, and was lifted up from the hole by another crane upon completion of the first six bays. The remaining bays were erected using a hydraulic crane from the street outside the construction site. Precast erection began in October 2014 and was completed in December 2014. The parking structure, which features an architectural façade designed to replicate DNA strands, provides 1,500 new parking spaces for Temple University Health System patrons. SPG Takes on Tysons General Contractor: The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company Precaster: The Shockey Precast Group Located in the 12th largest business market in the country and the heart of downtown Fairfax County, the Tysons II H Parking Structure in McLean, VA, was constructed to support the18-story, 476,000 office building currently in construction at 1775 Tysons Boulevard. When completed in late 2015, the office building will be the fifth office building designed by Lerner Enterprises as part of the Corporate Office Centre at Tysons II. Project: Tysons II H Parking Structure Location: McLean, VA Owner: Lerner Enterprises Architect: Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates PC Engineer: Smislova, Kehnemul & Associates The parking structure was designed to allow for future, horizontal expansion, and includes a green-tinted architectural concrete mix and architectural finish on the wall panels. The Shockey Precast Group manufactured and erected a total of 993 precast components for the project, including 337,256 SF of double tees. Erection began in December 2014 and was completed in May 2015. Precast Brings Home Multi-Family Residential Parking Garage The Discovery Square Parking Structure in Herndon, VA, offered both design and logistics challenges for The Shockey Precast Group. Designed to be surrounded by multi-family residential housing, the three-level garage featured 130,000 SF of double tees and was constructed from 294 pieces of precast manufactured by Shockey. Although the project was not considered design-build, SPG’s Vice President of Engineering worked extensively with Lincoln Property on particular aspects of the parking structure’s design. Shockey is typically the first subcontractor on site, but due to permit delays in Fairfax County, construction of the residential housing had to move forward before erection of the precast parking garage could begin. This eliminated Shockey’s side access to the site, and made it necessary to coordinate with a local landowner to borrow land for a drop lot. Following the residential housing construction also meant Shockey couldn’t drop the large concrete blocks with poles known as “dead men” to use as bracing during erection of the precast components. Shockey coordinated with the Engineer of Record to brace the precast against areas of the residential housing structures slab on grade. Precast erection began on October 15, 2014, and was completed on December 15, 2014.
