670 Newport Center Dr.
Newport Beach, CA
This is an eight level parking structure with four levels of subterranean parking. The structure is bounded on three sides by an existing hotel, parking structure, and a new office building. Soldier piles and lagging were used as the excavation method for construction of the subterranean portion. FWCSE’s design included a poured-in-place 21” thick concrete wall which formed the basement. The entire structure used cast-in-place post-tensioned concrete construction with special reinforced concrete shear wall as the lateral system. The entire exterior is cladded with precast concrete panels.

Kaiser Vandever Parking Structure
San Diego, CA
A five level, 281 car expansion to an existing parking building. This structure was particularly complicated as it was an addition to an existing structure that had not been designed or detailed for an expansion. Thus, special care was taken in understanding the existing structure detailing and field conditions. This new structure has post-tensioned concrete slabs and beams as well as concrete columns. The lateral system consisted of concrete moments frames in both directions. Special attention was made to the placement of the columns adjacent to the existing structure in order to locate the columns so that they had the least impact on the existing structure. In addition, the “grade beam” from the moment fame adjacent to the structure was located above the existing footings to minimize the new structure’s impact.

Biola University Parking Facility
La Mirada, CA
This project at Biola University incorporates an existing soccer field and running track designed over a surface parking lot. This would be the campus first multi-level parking facility. The existing gym building is to the west, a service/access road and creek to the east, surface parking on the south and existing buildings on the north, bound the site. Several issues were balanced to adequately provide additional parking to the campus – existing pedestrian and vehicular traffic, the increased traffic created by the new 550 new spaces, functional relationship between the gym and field, future parking growth (an additional 500 to 1,000 spaces to the south) and site-specific conditions (utility line locations, soils conditions, as well as the adjacent creek).
