Henry
B Gonzales Convention Center
Owner: City of San Antonio
GC: Clark Construction
Acres:
Pad Area:
Paving Area:
HBGCC was M&M's first major combination project, consisting
of the demolition of the existing convention center, foundation
prep for the new facility and 20' of excavation along an existing
building to extend the city's famous Riverwalk. As usual, M&M
had to deal with scheduling, coordination and archeological
issues associated with downtown work but we also had to deal
with highly sensitive water mains which eliminated the use of
compactors on the project. |

Westin
Hotel
Owner: Westin
GC: Lyda
Acres: 1
Archealogical delays, traffic concerns and water issues were
all encountered on this project. Because excavation was required
below river level, a well point system had to be set up and
gravel needed to be installed to stabilize the ground. Market
Street Parking Garage was later added to the project and it
required excavation below street level. During excavation, Alamo
Era foundation walls along with small artifacts were uncovered
and the project was quickly halted. In order to recapture lost
time, M&M was forced to utilize night crews. |

San
Fernando Cathedral
Owner: The Archdiocese of San Antonio
GC: Spaw Glass
Acres: 1
Pad Area: 116,000 SF
Paving Area: N/A
San Fernando Cathedral was both a historic and hectic project.
M&M had to constantly deal with the media attention it received
due to its historic presence in San Antonio and also with the
traffic issues, both of which created a scheduling nightmare.
Selective demolition was required inside and outside in preperations
for the new rectory. In addition to the excavation for the building
pad, M&M's site services had to also dig for a new CPS vault.

South
Bank
Owner: South Bank Ventures
GC: Browning Construction
Acres: 1
South Bank, which was the eventual home of Planet Hollywood,
Peasanos Riverwalk and others, was a difficult project because
it was on the Riverwalk level. Twenty feet of bentonite slurry
wall was placed around the project to seal off the water to
allow for excavation. |
