Bowie Army Reserve Center, White Plains

About

GTA performed a preliminary geotechnical exploration, deep boring and laboratory testing for seismic site classification, and provided a geotechnical data report for the proposed Army Reserve Center (ARC) to include three 1- to 2-story buildings, several parking lots, and associated infrastructure, including stormwater management facilities. The data report was provided to design-build contractors for design of the site. GTA also provided a separate geotechnical report with recommendations for our client’s use. This report included recommendations for dealing with diatomaceous, moisture-sensitive, and soft soils.

Construction improvements to the 15-acre site included a 79,795-SF ARC training facility, 5,703-SF organization maintenance shop, and 5,163-SF storage building, and infrastructure.
