Orleans Street Parking Garage – Johns Hopkins Hospital,
Baltimore, Maryland
Typical of our approach to cost effective solutions was our re-design
of the foundation for the Orleans Street Parking Garage at Johns Hopkins
Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. The original project design called for
large diameter drilled shafts bearing in Cretaceous Age sands and silts
or auger cast piles. The original geotechnical design utilizing drilled
shafts had a total construction volume of over 14,000 cubic yards.
FTG, Inc. was contacted by Atlantic Caisson Corp. and requested
to determine if a value engineering re-design was feasible
for the project. We developed preliminary design criteria based
upon our extensive deep foundation experience, which indicated
that the volume of the drilled shafts could potentially be
cut in half. We then developed a comprehensive load test program
utilizing state of the art Statnamic Load Tests on selected
production shafts to prove our re-design.
After successfully completing the load test program, we developed
complete designs for the over 400 shafts onsite, including
lengths, diameters and reinforcing steel. In the end, the re-design
saved the Hospital over $2,000,000 from the original design
and weeks off of the construction schedule.
