FIRST BASE BUILDING
Columbia, South Carolina
With our experience on the Bull Street baseball stadium, now called Spirit Communications Park, FME was hired by Hughes Development Corporation to develop foundation recommendations for the First Base Building. The 34,000-square foot building, located adjacent to the stadium’s first base line, is a three to five-story structure that includes retail space, offices, and one level of below ground parking.
FME performed a subsurface exploration, laboratory testing, and geotechnical analysis and design. Using the field and laboratory data, along with the information obtained during FME’s exploration at the stadium, FME provided foundation recommendations for the building and retaining wall recommendations for the parking level.
