Pier 70 – Buildings 12 + 15

Sandy Wong — Thu, 09 Apr 2020 20:33:45 +0000

The work on Building 12 involved renovation, seismic retrofit, and adaptive re-use of the historic, steel-framed warehouse that was used for ship construction and repair during World War II. The project team lifted the entire structure approximately 12 feet through a complex system of jacks in order to complete the work. As it was held in place, ��ѿapp implemented significant modifications the building to that include a below-grade parking garage, retail space with a common court and public restrooms, 45,000 SF of mezzanine space, and 60,000 SF of office space, all of which added approximately 100,000 SF onto the building for a total of 220,000 SF. Also included in the scope of work was a self-performed restoration and preservation of the historic envelope and new wood decking on all levels; utility retrofit; and streetscape improvements. The project achieved LEED Gold certification.

The historic, 60-foot, 15-ton Building 15 was stripped down to its structural frame system, lifted approximately nine feet, moved 200 to make way for infrastructure and street upgrades. Using a complex system involving crane mat stacks, substrate preparation, hydraulic manifolds, and jacks to lift the building back into the air, ��ѿapp’s team applied liquid soap onto Teflon-coated tracks to reduce friction as it slid back into place.

City Center Bishop Ranch

The City Center Bishop Ranch complex is a new, mixed-use development comprised of 270,000 SF of specialty retail, a 42,000 SF luxury cinema with bar and restaurant, a 30,000 SF gym, and a 232,000 SF parking structure. The site includes surface parking, valet parking, landscape improvements, pedestrian pathways, and plaza seating. It is the largest shopping center in the world to be awarded LEED Platinum certification.

The retail center is formed around a piazza-style plaza with water features, food and beverage seating, landscaping, specialty event staging and ice rink amenities for the community. This social gathering experience is the focal point of the project and creates a destination point for business, retail, and community events.

The parking structure has approximately 1,200 parking spaces, EV charging stations, rideshare, bike lockers, circulator bus stations, and a large photovoltaic array.

The project required management of active public roadways, integration of new and old roadways, extensive rough grading and paving, and massive utility and infrastructure scope.

Emeryville Public Market

��ѿapp completed this four-and-a-half-year redevelopment of a 10-acre industrial site and former home of the Pabco Manufacturing ��ѿapp. The scope of work included the new construction of two 145,000 SF, post-tensioned concrete parking structures built over ground floor retail space; a steel-structured restaurant; 10 blocks of completely new utility infrastructure and streetscape; and a new, 1.25-acre park and playground, Christie Park. The team self-performed hard and soft demolition, framing, and finished carpentry.

Due to the site’s location in a very heavily trafficked part of Emeryville directly adjacent to residential apartment blocks, a flourishing food court, and operating businesses, ��ѿapp constructed temporary a bypass road to reroute traffic around the site and coordinated closely with other general contractors.

��ѿapp provided design-build services for the historical renovation, seismic upgrade, and expansion of one of the oldest buildings at Stanford University. Originally built in 1902, the four-story building is a key component of the university’s long-range vision to create a new biology/chemistry quad on campus. The sandstone structure features state-of-the-art bio/chemistry and organic chemistry teaching laboratories, along with a new library combining biology, chemistry, statistics and mathematics. An underground addition contains a lecture hall and a 300-person auditorium with a walkout terrace above. The team also performed the installation of site utilities and a filtration basin along Lomita Drive. The project achieved LEED Gold certification.

��ѿapp Concrete self-performed radial pours that required specialty equipment for both above-grade and subterranean work.

Presidio Quartermaster Reach Marsh

Sandy Wong — Fri, 20 Dec 2019 20:19:49 +0000

The Presidio Quartermaster Reach Marsh Restoration project is the final stage of the Tennessee Hollow Watershed restoration, which began in the late 1990s.
