Disciplines

Construction Materials Testing

Working in collaboration with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Falcon is providing Construction Materials Testing for this eleven-story parking deck project. Falcon is responsible for testing of the superstructure which is constructed of post-tensioned cast-in-place concrete with structural steel cantilevered stairs, and a structural steel roof mounted platform. The platform will house several photovoltaics which will assist in the energy usage reductions achieved by this facility. The architect for this project is PBC+L Architecture and as you can see from the rendering, this building is not only a complicated structure to build but also one of great beauty and grace.

*Falcon Engineering would like to thank the design firm PBC+L for the project images and renderings.
