CME’s Buffalo Division started providing services on the New Student Housing Project located on the Buffalo State University Campus in Buffalo, New York, in December 2009.
The Student Housing project is just beginning with approximately 330 steel piles being driven to end-bearing on bedrock at depths ranging from 45’ to as much as 90’. The project consists of an eight story Tee-shaped building with approximately 38,347 square feet per floor. The new apartment style dormitory will feature a total of 507 beds situated in 124 four-bed apartments, each with single rooms and full kitchens as well as a main floor common space with laundry and activities. Project cost is estimated to be $48 million with completion estimated in the Spring 2011. Inspections will include normal CMT testing in accordance with the general specifications as well as Special Inspections in accordance with the Building Code of New York State.
CME’s scope of service includes monitoring steel pile installation and building pad preparation, compaction testing of engineered fills, cast in-place concrete testing, inspections of formwork and reinforcing bar placement, masonry special inspections including cold weather construction requirements and fabrication of test specimens. In addition, CME is responsible for structural steel testing and inspection, which includes Ultrasonic Testing during the pile and structural framing, plus Spray-Applied Fireproofing, intumescent paint, floor flatness / floor levelness, and moisture vapor emissions tests. Concrete foundations are planned to begin the week of February 01, 2010.
