Alternatives Analysis/ Planning, Architectural Design
Originally constructed in 2010, Mesa County’s Animal Services building developed floor damage due to unstable soils almost immediately. The damage became so severe over the following years to render the building unusable. Blythe Group was retained in 2016 to identify alternatives for repair or replacement. This study identified repair as the most economical alternative. To do this, operations were relocated to temporary structures while the permanent building was completely gutted, leaving just the foundation, exterior walls, and roof which had all been stable. Inside, the concrete slab on grade was removed completely and a crawlspace dug to prevent contact with the Earth. Micropiles were drilled and installed to support a steel floor structure that a new slab was poured over, followed by all the walls, doors and finishes. Mesa County reoccupied in November 2017.
