Scope Of Work
The project consisted of the construction of the Denver Justice Center (DJC), located in downtown Denver, Colorado. The DJC will include a 320,000 GSF Criminal Court Facility, a 1500 bed 320,00 GSF Detention Center, and a subsurface pedestrian tunnel connecting the two structures.
The Court Facility building footprint is approximately 420ft long by 120ft wide, with a basement elevation of 5212 msl; however, deeper excavations are required for foundation support structures, as well as for the north and south basement pits.
The Detention Center is approximately 460ft long by 200ft wde in plan view. The excavation for the Detention Center will extend to 5200 msl, penetrating the reported piezometric water surface.
A tunnel pedestrian/utility tunnel approximately 250 ft long x 20 ft wide connects Court Facility and the Detention Center at approximately midpoint of both structures. The top of slab for the tunnel slopes downward to the east from El (+) 5212 msl at the Court Facility to elevation 5206.67’ msl at the Detention Center.
