    GROUND provided the geotechnical engineering and construction materials testing for the Gateway Office Park which consists of over 1,300 acres of infrastructure, and 600,000 square feet of office and warehouse buildings located in Denver, CO. The typical structure within the office park consists of a single level building founded on spread footings with a slab on grade and site-cast concrete wall panels.

  • Leprino Cheese Factory
    The Leprino Facility with over 750,000 square feet is located in Greeley, CO and constructed on the site of a sugar beet factory established in the early 1900’s. A bi-product of the sugar beet facility was significant amounts of hydrated lime that was produced and stockpiled on the site. GROUND provided value engineering during site grading utilizing the existing hydrated lime material to reduce the amount of imported fill materials and the size of the lime waste pile. The structure is approximately 130 feet in height and founded on a deep pile foundation with concrete precast walls.
