Campbell County Weed and Pest

This project will provide new facilities for the Weed & Pest District to replace the old and functionally obsolete building. There will be three separate buildings totaling 15,886 sq. ft. to efficiently isolate the different usages. The 3,316 sq. ft. (46’ x 69’) office building has space for reception, conferences, offices, break room, file storage, crew, and toilets. 

The 6,720 sq. ft. vehicle storage building (60’ x 112’) has space for light trucks, trailers, ATV’s and other equipment. The chemical storage and repair building consists of 5,850 sq. ft. (50’ x 117’) for the storage, mixing and load-out of the chemicals. This building also has space for vehicle maintenance and toilets. This facility will be the first on the County’s Centennial Section, therefore it sets the standard of quality and appearance for anticipated future County facilities.

Consolidated Engineers and the architect provided the initial feasibility study and conceptual design for budgeting and agency project approval. This was followed by the preparation of the final designs for the building by the full project team. 

All aspects of the facility design were provided by the team. The services have included providing full design plans and material specifications, assistance with permitting and bidding and providing construction administration assistance. 
Cottonwood Senior Apartments

Cottonwood Senior Apartments

This project is a fifty unit residential housing facility for seniors built on the same block with the existing Campbell County Senior Citizens Center. The building is a 43,000 sq. ft. three story structure in two wings forming an L-shaped structure. The facility features a commons area, an exercise room, laundry room a large mechanical room, an elevator, and exterior second-floor decks. Included in the site development were parking, utility extensions, storm drainage, and retaining walls.

Our team provided the design of the site grading, parking, handicap accessibility, drainage facilities, utilities, and development plan. CEI also provided the design for the total structural system, including the wood framing and the reinforced concrete foundation. Prepared material specifications and provided construction engineering assistance 

The greatest challenge on this project was designing the improvements so as to protect a large cottonwood tree that identified as needing to survive the construction. This goal was successfully met through the design and construction of the improvements.

Another challenge was to provide ground level access to all of the first level apartments and to provide ground level access to the common areas between the two wings. In order to accomplish this, small retaining walls and numerous area drains were designed and constructed.

The project was also constructed on a site that had previously contained several permanent and modular medical offices that were removed prior to the start of design. The demolition portion of this project removed the remaining infrastructure, including underground utilities that were in the way while retaining service to the surrounding buildings.  
Gillette Campus Center Building (2002 - 2003)

Gillette Campus Center Building (2002 - 2003)

This building is the center facility for the new Gillette college campus and is located at the intersection of Enzi Drive and Sinclair Street. The 65,000 sq. ft. building is located on a 14-acre site and is mostly single story with a small two-story area. The building has a deeply driven pile foundation and structural floor with crawl space.

The structural design of the foundation and the main level floor was provided. The site design consisted of the parking lots, sanitary sewer extensions, potable water supply with fire protection, grading, and drainage. Provisions were also provided for future building sites and additional parking lots.
Gillette Hospice

Gillette Hospice

A new partial two-story 15,000 sq. ft. building was constructed to provide hospice and nursing outreach programs. The new building was constructed adjacent to the hospital on a lot recently purchased by the foundation.

The site design included the water and sewer utility extensions, the overall site grading, storm drainage facilities, parking lots, and retaining walls. Construction specifications were prepared for the site related construction and the facility was permitted through the City of Gillette. Coordination with WyDOT was also required as they were designing a reconstruction of the street in front of the facility.

The greatest challenge was that the site was extremely small to accommodate the various features that were to be included. Since the overall size of the building could not be changed, areas for the required parking were limited. Additionally, handicap accessible to a park-like feature to the rear of the building necessitated extensive design coordination with the architect.

Another challenge was how to address the 12’ of vertical change along the length of the building. Extensive modular block retaining walls were designed to address the grade changes and allow adequate space for parking. Several smaller walls were incorporated into the park-like area behind the building.
Hillcrest Elementary School (2007 - 2009)

Hillcrest Elementary School (2007 - 2009)

This project provided a 68,620 sq. ft. facility to replace an aging elementary school. This single story building has adequate space for three classrooms at each grade level as well as the supporting facilities for a fully functioning school. Included in the site development were rough grading, parking, pedestrian access, utility extensions, storm drainage, and small retaining walls.

Design services were provided for the site grading, parking, handicap accessibility, drainage facilities, and utilities. The design phase included several iterations that were reviewed by numerous stake-holders in the project. 

Our team prepared material specifications for the site improvements and prepared a “development plan” for approval by the City of Gillette. During the construction phase, construction engineering assistance on the site related items was provided.
Prairie Wind Elementary School (2007 - 2010)

Prairie Wind Elementary School (2007 - 2010)

This project provided a 68,420 sq. ft. facility to replace an aging elementary school. This single story building has adequate space for three classrooms at each grade level as well as the supporting facilities for a fully functioning school. Included in the site development were rough grading, parking, pedestrian access, utility extensions, storm drainage, and small retaining walls.

Design services were provided for the site grading, parking, handicap accessibility, drainage facilities, and utilities. The design phase included several refinements that were requested by the stakeholders of the project. 

Material specifications were prepared for the site improvements and a “development plan” was prepared for approval by the City of Gillette for the issuance of a building and zoning permit. During the construction phase, construction engineering assistance on the site civil related items was provided.
