Our Projects

The Union Pacific Depot is more than a hundred years old. Its age and the methods by which it was constructed pose a settlement challenge.  Additionally, the variations in the construction materials used resulted in different settlement and compression behaviors.

FOCUS was tasked with monitoring the building’s settlement. To do this, the team placed 22 wall stations throughout the building. The stations were then relayed to a network of six references mounted to stable structures and utilities. Measurements from wall and floors are taken in relation to the reference stations to detect minute movements in the structure. This process requires extreme attention to detail to ensure that the measurements are accurate and consistent.
