Highlights
THE BIG IDEA
GPRS provided the accurate concrete scans and field markings that allowed Turner to cut and core at hundreds of locations in the facility with ZERO hits, keeping the project on time, on budget, and safe.
INDUSTRY
Facility Management, Construction
SERVICE
Concrete Scanning
ASK
Provide accurate clearances for coring and cutting for concrete wall removal, new MEP, HVAC, and fire system installations
PROJECT APPLICATION
Turner Construction needed to alter the layout and access points of the structure extensively and required accurate concrete scanning and imaging to drill and cut hundreds of concrete core holes to install new electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and fire systems.
TASK
GPRS provided Turner Construction the concrete reinforcement infrastructure data it needed to remove concrete as part of a large tenant improvement project, requiring extensive concrete infrastructure changes at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts.
PROBLEM
- Due to the building’s age and the amount of concrete removal required from walls and floors, it was critical to avoid striking existing reinforcements within the concrete in areas that were not being removed
- During construction, damage to the existing infrastructure within concrete slabs, walls, and under slabs was a significant safety concern for the owner and the Turner team
- The project required tight deadlines and extensive project coordination
Solution
- There were ZERO strikes of existing concrete reinforcements during the project, keeping the structure and the crews safe, and the project on time and on budget
- GPRS Project Managers train in a world-class facility with thousands of square feet of concrete slab as part of their SIM certification, which gives them the experience required to scan the most complex subsurface infrastructures and is the backbone of our 99.8%+ accuracy rate
- The repeatable methodologies of SIM make our Project Managers more efficient and allow them to scan dozens of locations in a day
Benefits
- On Time: Due to our rapid response, we kept the project moving, reducing downtime
- On Budget: There was no concrete damage allowing the project to stay on budget
- Safety: Protecting post tension cables and structural steel from damage helped keep all workers safe
- Reputation: No strikes or delays meant that the client’s valuable reputation was protected
