Conversion of 1960’s Warehouse
Menasha, WI
Conversion of Facilities to Manufacturing
In the late 1990’s new construction was completed to attach two long narrow buildings together at one end to effectively make a “U” shaped printing facilities.
This project is located adjacent to Lake Winnebago and has access off Brighton Bridge Road which provides access to a public beach.
Regulatory agencies required two points of access roadways as a requirement for new construction permits. New building construction eliminated existing access.
Saving in the initial construction of over $1 million and we cut over six (6) months off the construction schedule.
Creative use of materials and processes to deal with a site where groundwater & surface water levels were at the same level as adjacent Lake Winnebago.
Army Corps of Engineers
The Army Corps of Engineers abandon regulating the lock and dam system on the Fox River flowing out of Lake Winnebago.
The community elected to raise Winnebago Lake level to an elevation that put the surface water above the top of the pavement in parts of this facility.
The final new RCC pavement of entire facilities was completed in early spring when Lake Winnebago water levels were lowered to limit ice break-up damage to residential homes.
Fire Protection Water Supply
Utilize permanent steel sheet pile wall to separate remaining fire pond from the part that became part of the building. Construct new fire protection pump house and relocate fire pump. New potable water supply to facilities with fire hydrants at 50′ and water main to supplement water in fire pond.
Established New Roadway Access
Construct new permanent secondary access for facilities off Brighton Beach Road using a narrow corridor of the land available north of existing building and new primary access to facilities off STH 114.
Best Life Cycle Value
The on-going saving in maintenance over this RCC pavement life to date is nearing $1 million dollars where this RCC pavement should perform for many more decades.
RCC Pavement
Existing facilities, prior to new RCC pavement, required continuous pavement maintenance. Even with permanent water levels above the RCC pavement, after over twenty (20) years this RCC structurally performance is excellent. Freeze-thaw cycles have
Creative Material Use
Savings of over $500,000 by using glacial aggregates removed from an off-site underwater condition and placed at the site in underwater conditions.
Project Managment
Collaborative work with Federal, State, and Local Agencies to finalize facility plans.
