March 2006                                                                                       

Services Provided:  Renovation

Location: Atlanta, GA

Owner: Atlanta Public Schools

Project Description:
The Crawford Long Middle School project consist of the renovation of four existing structures, Gymnasium, Cafeteria and Media Center and the 20,000 square foot addition of a third level to the classroom building for the City of Atlanta Capitol Needs rehabilitation projects in urban Atlanta. The  original structures were constructed in 1951 and the Media Center was built in 1976. As usual with old buildings, there are several existing conditions that CDM had to overcome, i.e. abandoned underground utilities and the defacing of old brick and mortar, that enables your ability to core holds and add additional loads to the floor slab during construction. To assure structural strength of the existing structure CDM had to hire additional testing agency and engineering consultants to assist in the evaluation of means and methods to construction to incorporate the new design.

The addition of the third floor, the new design was to construct massive footings and shear walls on the two existing levels to accommodate the addition of the third floor. There was a great deal of excavation that took place to install the footing and shear walls to strengthen an old structure. The project is scheduled to be completed November 2006.
