Porters Neck Elementary School consisted of the construction of a new 80,349 sf elementary school on an 18-acre site. The building is made up of two floors and the site includes a parking area, playground, and three ponds for storm water management. Scope incorporated complete site development, roadway improvements, utilities, structural concrete, masonry and steel construction, roofing, exterior and interior finishes, equipment, fixtures, furnishing, and complete fire sprinkler, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems.
The school is adjacent to wet lands and close to the ocean. This means that the area where the job site was located contained blue clay, which is very difficult to work with. Our solution was to dewater the site using temporary ponds, adding French drains, and implementing erosion control and storm water management plans.
