ARTHREX
The Arthrex Inc Administration Campus Expansion project is located within the Creekside Business Park on the southwest portion of the intersection of Immokalee Road and Goodlette-Frank Road in the North Naples portion of Collier County.
The project includes:
-
the construction of a six-story “mid-rise” administrative building
-
a six-level pre-cast parking garage
-
a four-story atrium INNovation hotel structure
-
a two-story Wellness Center
-
a cast-in-place plaza deck and pavilion
-
a pre-cast bridge to by-pass the existing canal allowing for the sports/activity turf area.
The Administrative building and parking garage included a ground improvement program of dry bottom feed vibro-replacement, in-leu of auger cast-in-place piles. Forge’s teamwork with a specialty design-build geotechnical contractor allowed the mid-rise to be supported on a shallow foundation upon completion of vibro-replacement. This was achieved in spite of extremely high loads from large column spans, saving the project an estimated $3,000,000.
The structures consisted of:
-
concrete cast in place foundations
-
concrete stair and elevator towers
-
slabs-on-grade
-
structural steel components
-
pre-stressed pre-cast concrete components
Forge supplied personnel that provided:
-
vibro-replacement monitoring
-
soil improvement program using geogrids
-
field density testing for site work and roadway construction
-
concrete testing
-
fireproof testing
This project was completed on a fast-paced schedule that included six-day weeks and several early morning concrete pours.
