Spryridon Greek Orthodox Church—Loveland, CO
Shear Engineering Corporation provided foundation and structural engineering services related to an addition to the St. Spryridon Greek Orthodox Church located at 745 E. 5th Street in Loveland, Colorado. The addition was built to connect two different existing structures on the property. This project was unique in the fact that one of the existing structures was built on a crawlspace and the new addition was built with a full basement; special foundation consideration was taken to protect the existing crawlspace foundation from ‘caving in’ due to the adjacent deeper basement excavation. All required construction observations as well as shear wall framing inspections were performed by Shear Engineering Corporation. Addition construction was completed in 2008. |
