In 2018, WGI was brought on to perform a condition assessment and provide repair recommendations for the O’Hare Plaza entry drive in Chicago. The O’Hare Plaza office complex consists of the 8725, 8735, and 8745 West Higgins Road office buildings, underground parking, and perimeter plaza and drives. The facility was constructed in the early 1970’s.
WGI provided professional engineering services to prepare repair documents, assist in bidding the project to qualified contractors, and provide construction observation/administration services for the repair and waterproofing of the south entry drive at O’Hare Plaza.
Project Highlights:
- Existing plaza demolition.
- Vertical, overhead, and topside concrete repairs.
- Waterproofing and expansion joint replacement.
- Design of new planters, crash walls, and railings.
- New drains, conduit, electrical boxes, mounted lights, and snow melt system installed in entry.
- Redesign landscaping.
