This project for Geothermal Development consisted of site work and utilities for a 17,752 square foot, tilt up construction, office and warehouse facility. Tucked away at the base of Rattlesnake Mountain in Reno Nevada, the existing site soils were unacceptable for building construction. Over 3,000 tons of material had to be exported off-site, and 2,600 tons of structural fill was imported and placed for the building pad. Other project elements included new construction of underground water, sewer and storm drain systems, as well as electrical, communications and gas services.
This commercial project, awarded to VersaGrade, consisted of site work and utilities on an undeveloped lot for a new AutoZone Auto Parts Store in South Reno. 1.7 acres of land were cleared of vegetation and prepared for the construction of a 7,182 Square Foot retail store and parking area. 7.5' of soils were over-excavated, screened, and re-compacted under the building pad and pavement areas. Over 9,000 cubic yards of material were screened and placed with the addition of imported structural fill. Utility installations included domestic, irrigation, & fire water service; gas, electrical & communications; sanitary sewer, and storm drain. Over 22,000 Square feet of Type II base was placed and compacted for the parking area and site concrete in 4" to 12" sections.
