Walbridge Aldinger/Bartlett Cocke General Contractors joint venture, under separate contract, performed the foundation work for the Assembly, Plant Office and Press/Weld buildings from July to November 2004. Approximately 750 building piers were installed to a depth of 32 feet below grade and 31,000 cu of concrete, on 2,200 tons of reinforcing steel. The Project consisted of Sitework, caissons, press pits and tunnel, and slab-on-ground preparation.

Walbridge Aldinger/Bartlett Cocke General Contractors joint venture was then awarded the contract to build the Assembly Plant, Plant Office and the Press/Weld Building. The Schedule commenced in December 2004 and was completed August 2005. The Press building includes the metal sheets receiving area and press pits, where metal components (bumpers, tailgates, fenders, hoods, etc.) are stamped and presses. The Weld building is where these parts (bumpers, tailgates, fenders, hoods, etc.) are welded together. The Assembly building is where the total and final product is assembled. The Plant Office is the central hub for the entire facility, acting as the control station. The scope of the work completed for all four areas includes: earthwork/excavation, misc. concrete, masonry block, misc. metals, structural steel and joists, metal roof and floor decks, cold formed metal framing, gypsum board framing, acoustical tile ceilings, rough and finish carpentry, HM doors and frames, wood doors, aluminum doors and frames, hardware, metal wall panel systems, single-ply membrane roofing, insulation, sealants, OH coiling doors, sectional OH doors, high-speed roll-up fabric doors, loading dock equipment, air shower, hydraulic elevator, bridge cranes and wall traveling cranes, plumbing, HVAC, fire protection and electrical.

The Sitework II Package began February 2005 and was completed in August 2005. This project consisted of providing and installation of underground utility services. Other scopes of work included Earthwork, grading, mulching, spreading of topsoil, seeding, watering, maintenance, chain link fencing, asphalt and concrete paving. The Plastics building is a single, slab-on-grade facility. Included in the construction were IMM pits, trench drain systems, blast relief walls, metal siding exterior, fire protection, bridge crane and a HVAC system. This building facilitates the production of plastic components for the Toyota vehicles.

The design for this Toyota plant included an 18-tier/one (1) supplier to be located on the plant site. Of the 18, the Toyota Tsusho project consists of seven (7) suppliers that are housed in 5 different buildings. The main facility is for steel coils which will be cut into sheets to be pressed into different vehicular components (bumpers, tailgates, fenders, hoods, etc.) Two (2) buildings are recycling centers and one (1) building will make the exhaust systems for the vehicles at the manufacturing plant. The final building constructed is used as an office for the suppliers.

The final three projects that were awarded to the Walbridge/Bartlett Cocke Joint Venture were the Audit Lab & Oil stores, Test Track and the Visitor/Receptions building. The Audit Lab & Oil stores consisted of two pre-engineered metal buildings, slab-on-grade, trench drain systems, pits, blast resistant area, masonry partitions, metal siding exterior, metal roof, MEP trestle, HVAC system. For visitors, Toyota has included a Reception and Visitors facility. The Reception building has several conference rooms for meetings and presentations, offices and an exhibit room. It also has an instruction safety room, both men’s and women’s restrooms and several storage rooms. Where as the Visitor’s Center contains a lobby, motor vehicle showroom, several conference rooms and offices.

The Test Track is used for testing vehicles coming off the assembly line. It includes a 2 mile asphalt track loop (with sound isolation area), an evaluation area for testing different aspects of the vehicles, a small shop building and an access road from the plant (with a pre-cast bridge over rail lines). The evaluation area requires several unique areas: Belgian block road, sine wave road, platform road, speed bump, rough pavement road, rope road, sope road and a skid pad.

Block Distribution
Block Distribution
371,000 SF, New Headquarters & Distribution Facility
San Antonio, Texas
Owner: Block Distributing Company
Architect: RVK, Inc.
Method of Delivery: Bid
Start/Completion: 09/00 - 08/01

The Block Distribution Center project located in the Tri-County Park in Schertz, consists of 370,000 SF of warehouse/office space. This facility serves as Block's corporate headquarters and primary distribution center of wine and spirits throughout central and south Texas. The building consists of a drilled pier foundation, slab on grade, and tilt-wall structure. The building pad required a minimum of ten (10) feet of crushed limestone, and the built-up roof structure covers an area of nearly 8.5 acres. The exterior of the office area was finished using oversized burnished masonry block, which gives it the appearance of cut limestone. And the entrance to the office features an attractive curved slate facade.

In order for forklifts to move and hoist loads up to 30 feet above finished floor safely, there were strict floor flatness and levelness standards established. The Floor Flatness specification established was FF-50 and the Floor Levelness specification was FL-30. To verify proper installation, a materials engineer tested the Floor Flatness and Floor Levelness, no later than 72 hours after the concrete was placed and finished. The major challenge on the project was schedule. This project had a specified 11-month "date certain" completion, and the contract stipulated that the warehouse space must be released within 9-months, so that a computerized laser, conveyor system and storage racking system could be installed before the final completion date. This aggressive schedule required 10-12 hour work days, 6-7 days a week, to meet the proposed deadline. Bartlett Cocke General Contractors undertook an aggressive fast-track project in the construction of the new Block Distribution Center.
