The additional 207-space scope included an <br />enclosed canine area, the construction of a CMU wall between the parking <br />garage and school buildings, and special inspection services in accordance <br />with Florida Building Code 2010 for the precast concrete units, reinforced <br />masonry and steel connections. <br />Project challenges included an aggressive one month design-bid-build and <br />delivery schedule for construction documents. To avoid expensive <br />construction delays, Thornton Tomasetti redesigned the deep foundation <br />system along the north side of the building because of an unforeseen <br />existing underground utility line. The redesign saved the owner time and <br />money, instead of relocating the underground utility line. The project was <br />utilized with Revit platform to streamline and meet the requirements of a strict <br />delivery schedule. <br /> <br />
