OCI’s scope of services continue to evolve throughout the project to accommodate HDJV’s needs and help the team work out solutions to issues as they arise. These consulting services included some of the following:
  • Reinforced Concrete is used for the underground tunnel, pile cap and grade beam foundations, slabs on grade, and slabs on metal decking. OCI works closely with HDJV, the design team, and the concrete subcontractor to see that reinforcing steel is correctly placed in a timely manner in order to pass inspections and maintain project schedule.
  • Post-Tensioned Concrete was heavily utilized at the Parking Garage and Elevated Roadway. OCI closely reviewed PT shop drawings and worked with the concrete subcontractor and their team to properly implement the requirements. This included numerous coordination efforts with the structural engineer, PT designer, and special inspector. OCI assisted with pre-pour work and post-tensioning efforts.
  • Structural Masonry walls are constructed throughout the Terminal, Gateway, and Concourses. When problems arise, OCI assist the masonry contractors to properly follow building codes and project requirements.
  • Structural Steel is widely utilized on nearly each project in the facility. It has been fabricated at various facilities throughout the world including Thailand, Canada, Arizona, Utah, and more. OCI facilitates QC efforts in accordance with AWS D1.1, reviews shop drawings, and works with both the steel erectors and inspectors in the field.
  • Firestopping is installed at each penetration and joint for fire rated walls throughout the building. OCI coordinates with HDJV, firestopping contractors, firestopping suppliers, city inspectors, and Terracon to successfully inspect thousands of firestopping installations.
  • Seismic Bracing is implemented for nearly all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) and other contractors in accordance with ASCE 7, NFPA 13, and other applicable building codes. HDJV consults OCI to review seismic bracing shop drawings, help the contractors correctly interpret seismic bracing requirements, install them accordingly, and pass designer and 3rd party inspections.
