Lockton Place is a new midrise 8-story 186,000 SF office development in the Houston’s Westchase District. D.E. Harvey Builders provided construction management at risk services for the project. The project broke ground around March 2016 and was completed within 12 months. The building features amenities such as a café, fitness center, conference room, penthouse and outdoor terrace.

Gorrondona Engineering Services, Inc. (GES) provided Construction Materials Testing services for this project. The building and garage foundations consisted of shallow spread and strip footings. The office building was constructed using a concrete pan deck design with steel columns. The parking garage was precast design with cast in place topping slabs at the elevated decks. The project also included 26,000 SF of paving and ground parking areas.

GES’ testing and inspection scope during construction included building, utility and paving earthwork, cast in place concrete, conventional steel reinforcing and structural steel. Additional special inspections performed by GES included structural masonry, floor flatness and fireproofing inspections.
