PROJECT DETAILS:
The Arthrex Administrative 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. SOCOTEC’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
This project was completed on a fast-paced schedule that included six-day weeks and several early morning concrete pours.
