This design/build assignment will feature a cast-in-place frame and post-tensioned parking deck surfaces. The new parking garage addition will expand the capacity of the VA's existing 302,000 square foot parking facility, which currently features four stories and 825 parking spaces. Engineered to accommodate future vertical expansion, the cast-in-place frame of the new parking structure can support three additional parking levels.
Comprised of 9.5 million pounds of steel, the frame of the garage will be galvanized for corrosion protection. The structure supporting the concrete decks will consist of castellated beams - hybrid girders that offer superior load bearing qualities while requiring less steel per lineal foot.
Carl Walker Construction Group will add three (3) additional floors to Winthrop's existing parking structure. The verticle addition will consist of three (3) post-tensioned, cast-in-place concrete decks supported by a steel frame.
This garage incorporates a pre-stressed, pre-cast concrete frame and cast-in-place deck surfaces, and will join the casino at a shared column line, featuring a firewall separating the two structures.

CWC Contract: $11,795,809
Project Description:
This 250,000 sq. ft. (180,000 sq. ft. supported), precast concrete parking structure is intended to provide 850 parking spaces to support a major multi-use downtown redevelopment project for the city of Washington, PA central business district. Significant architectural design features include the use of brick-faced panels at prominent locations and expansive use of glass in the stair elevator towers. Carl Walker Construction (CWC) was awarded the project on a design/build basis through a formal competition that evaluated proposals on a two-part evaluation: 1) how effectively defined design criteria were met and 2) price. Points were awarded on an equal-weight basis for each category, with the project awarded to the proposal with the most total points. CWC won both categories and was awarded the project.
This assignment entailed installation of a steel, king-pile retaining wall along the bank of the Allegheny River. The wall provides support for the River Walk, which allows Cork Factory residents direct access to the picturesque riverbank. The wall also protects the site from erosion and flooding. The structure is an integral component of a new marina complex that is currently under construction.
This assignment entailed the addition of a steel post-tensioned parking level to an existing precast parking structure at Ruby Memorial Hospital. The additional level added 105 cars to the garage’s capacity, and required extensive strengthening of the existing structure to support the incremental load. Once the structure of the precast garage was augmented with support members tied in to the original grade beams, the steel components were added to create the new parking level. All steel surfaces were sheathed in precast covers to visually integrate the newly constructed level with the existing structure. The garage was kept open during construction activities to support the needs of the hospital.
