NV5 provided materials testing and special inspection services to the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) for the Tahoe Forest Hospital Western Addition project in Truckee, California. This $19 million project consisted of a 50,000 square-foot, steel-frame structure supported on conventional spread foundations and large-diameter drilled caissons.
Our scope of services for this project included fill placement testing and observation; drilled pier observation; and special inspection of the ready-mix batch plant, reinforced concrete, structural steel and welding (AWS), structural masonry, and spray-applied fireproofing.
We continued to provide special inspection services during subsequent hospital expansion projects.
