Standing Rock Water Treatment Plant
Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Reservation
Walpala, South Dakota

The Standing Rock Water Treatment plant is a 32,000 sq. ft. facility designed to treat approximately six million gallons of water every day. Function and ease of construction were very important to this project because of its intended use, its importance to the Standing Rock water system and its remote location. The design team utilized a floor system consisting of a two-way concrete slab supported on drilled piers, walls and interior partitions made of precast concrete panels and a roof system consisting of open-web steel joists and a conventional metal deck. Although this building is anything but prototypical, Bartlett & West was able to use many prototypical ideas for its design.

Mezzanine Feasibility Study-University of Kansas
Lawrence, Kansas

The purpose of this study was to determine if the existing structure could be utilized to support a new mezzanine without construction of new footings or modifications of existing footings. Concrete framed water channels were present in the floor which created another obstacle. Performing the feasibility study allowed Bartlett & West to provide the owner with a solution to support the proposed mezzanine in this very confined space. Construction documents were prepared for a new steel framed mezzanine utilizing existing concrete framed beams and walls support perimeter mezzanine beams. Interior mezzanine columns were supported by the existing foundations of water channels.
