IMEG provided engineering design and services for the City of Rock Island\u2019s new police station. The $20 million, 44,500-sf building doubled the space available to the police department, which had outgrown its current, 22,000-sf, 75-year-old facility.

Energy-efficient features include vacancy sensors, low-flow plumbing fixtures, and LED lighting in some areas.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The technology design supports the building\u2019s high-level security features including all access control and door hardware coordination, security address systems, video surveillance cameras, duress buttons, and silent alarms.<\/span><\/p>\n IMEG provided geotechnical exploration, construction materials testing and construction observation services for the project. The site was underlain by about five feet of undocumented rubble fill and very soft alluvial and organic deposits. Deep foundation support of the floor slab and foundation were necessary. Vibro concrete columns were selected to transfer the planned structural loads to competent soils. During construction, IMEG provided deep foundation construction observation and testing, compaction testing, concrete testing, structural steel inspection and floor flatness testing services.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" IMEG provided engineering design and services for the City of Rock Island\u2019s new police station.
