Goodman Building Renovation and Expansion

In addition to finishing the core and shell of the existing building, a new four-story structure is planned for the adjacent lot. The challenges encountered on this site include an existing subsurface littered with debris from the demolition of a building that existed previously on the site. A geotechnical investigation discovered deleterious fill materials such as wood, brick, pieces of concrete, slag and gravel in the upper 10 feet of the building pad area. As a result, deep foundations in the form of helical piles will need to be installed to support the new building. There will also be replacement of the top layers of this nonstructural material to support the new building slab on grade. The new building will incorporate state of the art technology as well as all the expected amenities associated with a revitalized south side development. The new building will provide considerably more window area, while complimenting the historical appearance of the existing structure.
