Waynesboro Town Center Shopping Center
Waynesboro, Virginia
Paris Projects provided the complete building and site design coordination, contractor pre-qualifications, bidding, contracting, construction management, and project closeout. This site was not located near any major towns so finding qualified contractors was time-consuming.
We demolished an existing outlet mall, including buildings and a maze of underground utilities. Again, the existing soil and geotechnical conditions were very challenging. Underground caves (“carske” geology) were present throughout the region. We had to try to grout the openings of the caves to stop the infill, and when the condition occurred under a building, we added rebar at concrete slabs to bridge the caves.
Very dense rock and very poor soil conditions were quite challenging and, once again, we set up a rock-crushing plant on-site to generate our own paving and building pad stone, versus hauling it in from an off-site quarry. Rock condition dramatically affected the site schedule and the progress that could be anticipated.
We had to micro-manage numerous portions of the site to sequence four different phases of the buildings. Major road widening and two new traffic signals were constructed and completed before the first major tenant opened.
Our major accomplishment on this project was successfully managing it despite its very difficult site conditions.
Faced with a tight budget, compressed timeline, and tough soils, Keith Paris' expert management resolved our site work and construction challenges—his direction determined the project's success.
