This facility is part of the master planned Prologis Park Northpark, which at total build out is expected to reach 1.2M SF.

JRB’s engineer, Mr. Richard Sanders, P.E., performed the geotechnical investigation for NorthPark Building 10. Soil conditions were determined by a total of 6 borings drilled to a depth of 20 feet below existing ground surface in the building footprint. Mr. Sanders was also the geotechnical engineer-of-record for Building 6 (135,540 SF), Building 7 (79,360 SF), Building 8 (198,440 SF), Building 9 (52,846 SF), Building 11 (146,700 SF), and Building 12 (174,200 SF).

In addition, JRB performed construction materials testing services for NorthPark Building 10. Our scope of services included testing the building pad earthwork, paving subgrade earthwork, utilities earthwork, building concrete, and building hardscape and paving concrete. It also included inspection of the piers and structural steel. The project was completed in 2013.

Segments 1 and 2W of the North Tarrant Express (NTE) consist of a $2.55 billion design/build construction project. JRB Engineering provided the geotechnical investigation for the eastern section of the NTE, Segment 2W, which consists of reconstructing 6.9 miles of SH 121/183 from IH 820/Northeast Interchange east to Industrial Boulevard. It involves rebuilding six existing general purpose lanes and frontage roads with auxiliary lanes, and adding four new managed lanes. Segment 2W increases capacity from six lanes to ten lanes, plus frontage roads and auxiliary lanes.

Segment 2W includes the design and construction of bridges, drainage structures, MSE walls, drilled shaft walls, tie back walls, toll gantries, sign gantries, high mast light posts, operation and service buildings, pavement sections, embankments and approach fills, and underground utilities. We completed approximately 350 borings for a total depth of approximately 16,000 feet. In order to meet the scheduling requirements, we had up to six drilling rigs working on the project for about three months, which involved significant coring through shale, sandstone, and limestone in the Woodbine and Fort Worth Limestone formations.
