Overview
A retaining wall supporting the St. Francis Medical Center site failed after heavy rainfall in the Summer of 2020. As part of an emergency rehabilitation effort, Timmons Group Structural team performed an initial site investigation to determine the extent of the cause of the failure. They delivered a report summarizing their findings and recommended next steps, including partial demolition plans.
The Timmons Group team provided a preliminary replacement wall design to inform coordination with the selected contractor. They finalized construction plans shortly after and coordinated with a subconsultant on a design for a stormwater detention basin that would prevent excess pressure from accumulating behind the replacement wall. The team attended preconstruction meetings and provided construction administration services, including regular construction inspections, throughout the project duration. Construction and development of final as-built plans were completed within three months.
