The Kansas City Power & Light District is the premier entertainment district in the metro area. This project consisted of a seven-block development including multi-story underground parking structures and multi-level retail, commercial and residential buildings in downtown Kansas City, Missouri. KTI professional services on this project included environmental sampling and analytical laboratory testing as needed during unsuitable material remediation, geotechnical boring and foundation design recommendations and Resident Inspection and materials testing to oversee excavation and structural fill activities, foundation placement, concrete placement, steel frame and structural welding inspection, precast concrete placement, post tensioned deck placement, floor flatness and levelness. KTI also provided soil compaction and concrete testing for the KC Live! Streets project, working for HNTB to oversee replacement of roadway, curb and sidewalk pavement entire entertainment district. KTI also performed geotechnical services for Black and Veatch for the utilities relocation for the KC Live! District.

Materials testing and Special Inspection including driven piles, foundations, reinforcing steel, structural concrete, masonry, structural welding, structural steel and soil for a new multi-level brewing facility in Kansas City, Missouri. Boulevard Brewery completed its expansion in 2006.

KTI provided extensive drilling, laboratory testing and geotechnical engineering services on this project. Key components of this work included geotechnical considerations related to the design/construction of deep temporary excavations, the assessment of the final bearing surfaces associated with portions of the structure founded at significantly different elevations, and the elevation of the impact of the Fontana Shale (a high swell bedrock) on the underground parking structure.

KTI provided subsurface geotechnical drilling, laboratory testing and preliminary foundation design recommendations for the project as well as performed materials testing and Special Inspections including observation of retaining wall construction, verification of soil, testing of concrete, inspection of rebar placement, steel frame inspection and structural welding for a multi-unit retail development in Kansas City, Missouri. The project included construction of multiple retail structures including a 50,000 square foot, two-story tilt-up concrete panel building. Due to changes in design during the project, KTI worked closely with the retaining wall designer and gave foundation design recommendations that incorporated building foundations into the retaining wall.

KTI provided subsurface geotechnical drilling, laboratory testing and preliminary foundation design recommendations for the project as well as performed materials testing and Special Inspection including verification of soil, testing of concrete, inspection of rebar placement, steel frame inspection and structural welding for the a 120,000 square foot commercial warehouse in Kansas City, Missouri.
