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.
