Project Details

Keller Engineers was retained to provide engineering services necessary to demolish an abandoned facility and prepare the 2.1-acre site for future commercial development.  The project included an asbestos and lead-based paint report prepared by a sub-consultant. The structure had a concrete frame with concrete floor and roof framing. Concrete columns supported concrete beams and floor system.

Using an on-site mobile crushing operation, the concrete and brick materials from the building were used as fill.  The material was placed in the existing subgrade prior to the construction of a new facility.

For over 20 years I have had the privilege of working with Keller Engineers and their staff of surveyors, and civil and structural engineers on over $150 million worth of work. During these project relationships and partnering opportunities, my architectural teams have received nothing but premium professional services and courtesy towards my own staff, clients and prospective clients with stellar attention given to building and site details, client responsiveness and peer respect. I look forward to many more teaming opportunities and urge any other architectural firms, municipalities or clients who have not worked with Keller Engineers to do so. You will be pleasantly surprised! Richard L. Karcher, AIA, NCARB
