Reservoir Woods Parking Garage
Scope/Solutions
The owner of Reservoir Woods sought to provide additional parking space in a new garage, which consists of a basement level and four elevated parking levels with 923 parking spaces. We provided project management, coordination, and structural engineering services for the 280,000 sq ft garage.
As the prime consultant for the project, we coordinated the architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire projection disciplines. Highlights of our work include the following:
- Structural design of the precast concrete superstructure supported on cast-in-place concrete spread footings
- Structural design of two exterior stair/elevator towers and a pedestrian bridge, which provides sheltered access to adjacent office building
- Functional design for garage circulation and access

Neponset River Bridge
A subsequent engineering study found that the cracks were due to over-stresses in the flexural steel and abrupt termination of flexural steel in a tension zone.

MassBiologics, Stormwater Retention System
Following partial collapse of the chambers in 2006, SGH investigated the cause of failure and recommended remedial action. We subsequently provided consulting services for redesigning and installing a replacement system.
