Logan Airport Parking Structure, Boston, MA

This project is an expansion of the existing four levels Central Parking garage made of CIP. The expansion involves inclusion of 3 more levels (Level 5 to Level 7) of precast structures.

The parking structure will be in use during the entire course of the expansion. As a result of this, the most difficult and challenging task of the entire project is the erection of the precast products.

Hartsfield International Airport Parking Structure Enhancement Atlanta, Georgia (Designed at Pennsylvania Division)

This was a one million square foot one level addition to existing structures servicing both terminals. HWA's challenge was to design the structure within the capacity limitations of the existing facility. HWA worked closely with the precaster and erector to ensure that special erection procedures, which did not allow use of a conventional crane, resulted in an acceptable design considering that temporary conditions were more critical than service conditions.

Crabtree Valley Mall Parking Structure Raleigh, North Carolina (Designed at Pennsylvania Division)

This four level structure originally had column/beam moment frames in both directions at every column intersection. Partnering with the precaster, HWA developed a "Wind Frame" bent to handle all lateral loads. These "Wind Frames" were provided at crucial, but limited, locations throughout the structure. This innovative concept resulted in a savings of more than one million dollars considering the ripple effect from design through production, hauling and erection.

Bryan Street Parking Structure Savannah, Georgia (Designed at Pennsylvania Division)

This six level small plan structure is built in the heart of the historical section of this old southern city. The city wanted a structure that looked more like an office building than a typical sloped parking structure. This was achieved by utilizing horizontal spandrels to support the ramped double tee floor system. This created unique design conditions which HWA solved as part of its services. The structure received a PCI Award for Outstanding Parking Structure in 1998.

North Street Parking Structure Bethlehem, PA (Designed at Pennsylvania Division)

Similar to Bryan Street, the city of Bethlehem, PA sought to create a natural blending of a residential area on one side of North Street to the commercial down town on the other. HWA provided complete structural design and shop drawings for all products including brick faced load bearing and non-load bearing spandrels. These features achieved the city's goals. The structure received two local awards from chapters of ASCE and ACI.

Newark Airport Parking Structure Newark, NJ (Designed at Pennsylvania Division)

This six-story facility included double tees on a structural steel frame. The double tee/steel beam connections created the lateral stability for the structure and the tees and their connections were designed accordingly. More than 500,000 square feet of double tees were provided. Most required design of special extended daps, which allowed for distribution of mechanical and electrical equipment.

The floors were level except for a slight slope to accommodate drainage. For automobile access a steel/CIP helix was constructed outside the footprint of the main structure. The helix was clad with architectural precast panels, which were detailed to include concave and convex horizontal curvature as well as vertical slope for the ramp. HWA's work resulted in good fit and zero recasts.

Lucent Technologies Parking Structure Allentown, PA (Designed at Pennsylvania Division)

After divesting itself from Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies set out to build a world headquarters within 2 miles of its main manufacturing facility. To service the office tower, Lucent included two three level parking structures one on each side for easy employee access. Due to design and site restrictions, the footprints of both included several non 45-degree angle sections. Use of 15' and 10' double tees allowed for both limited numbers of pieces and geometrical control. One of the structures housed the mechanical equipment for the entire facility. This required truck access under the structure, which was achieved with a large transfer girder spanning 76'. Careful consideration of in service as well as plant limitations were required and achieved without difficulty.
