Project Name:
Emerald Point Design/Build Parking Structure

Location:
5130 Central Drive, Dublin, CA

Owner:
Opus Corporation

Architect or Engineer:
International Parking Design (IPD)

Description of Project:
A Design/Build 800-car parking structure. W.M. Klorman Construction Corporation was the Design/Build Contractor and self performed the concrete portion of the project. The Parking structure was a unique, ductile moment frame design (no shear walls). The building was in excess of 700 lineal feet long and had one seismic joint at approximately the midpoint. We designed the building to blend into the surroundings with undulating spandrels, feature strips and mature landscaping. We also designed and installed a unique trellis and planter feature on the roof on the parking structure. The entire project was built on a fast-track schedule in approx. 6 months.

Description of Project:
A Design/Build 600-car parking structure. W.M. Klorman Construction Corporation was the Design/Build Contractor and self-performed the concrete portion of the project. The Parking structure was a unique, ductile moment frame design (no shear walls) and was designed with the anticipation of a 4-foot vertical settlement in the soil. The building was built using a catholically protected H-pile foundation system that extended approximately 200 feet downward into the bay mud and activated by a Post-tensioned mat foundation slab. The building was built over an area of reclaimed land that was once the San Francisco Bay and converted into a municipal land fill ultimately capped with clay soil which created complex challenges that Klorman Construction successfully and creatively overcame.

Architect or Engineer:
Perkins Will Architects, HNA/Pacific Parking Consultants

Description of Project:
This 236,430-square-foot parking structure is located at the former Warner Hollywood site in West Hollywood, now known as The Lot. The seven-level post-tensioned, long-span structure for 700 vehicles features unique18-foot heights on the basement and ground floors to accommodate studio sound and lighting trucks and commercial vehicles that need to access the basement below the sound stage and adjacent to the parking structure. The design provides unobstructed thru-view for reasons of light and security by incorporating a sophisticated ductile moment frame and a foundation design consisting of large grade beams to eliminate the need to drive piles near an operating studio.
