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

Stop & Shop
Shop & Stop Store #539 is constructed with a rooftop parking deck over the supermarket. SGH was the engineer of record for a new split-slab waterproofing system design, and also evaluated and developed repairs to address concealed damage to the building structure and parking deck.

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.
