This public safety headquarters facility is DFW Airport’s first design-build project. The two-story, 130,000 SF, concrete tilt-wall structure houses the administrative and operational offices for the Airport’s police, fire, and special services staff, as well as a detention center.

TexTerra developed geotechnical recommendations for the design and construction of the foundation and pavements. Soil and rock conditions were evaluated by completing a total of 18 borings across the site. The boring depths varied from 20 feet to 100 feet below the existing ground surface. The majority of borings extended 60 feet below the existing ground surface. TexTerra also provided construction materials testing and inspection services on building pad, paving subgrade and utilities earthwork; piers; building concrete; hardscape and paving concrete; masonry; and structural steel.
