Weigh Station Buildings Project
DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION TEAM
General Contractor: Telco Supply Co., Sulphur, OK
Owner: Oklahoma Dept. of Transportation
Precaster: Oldcastle Infrastructure
Manufacturing Facility: Oldcastle Infrastructure, Newnan, Georgia
Construction Services: Provided by Oldcastle Services
The Oklahoma DOT (ODOT) is constructing new state-of-the-art commercial truck weigh and inspection stations for heavy trucks entering Oklahoma. A total of nine POE weigh stations will be built along major highway entrances around the state’s border.
The $100 million dollar project consists of building eight permanent, manned stations at key ports of entry into Oklahoma, along with a ninth unmanned “virtual” station that will allow regulators to use special equipment to weigh and check trucks as they move along the highway.
CONSTRUCTION CHALLENGE
In collaboration with Telco Supply Company and the Oklahoma State DOT, Oldcastle Infrastructure provided a “turnkey” solution for the ODOT Port of Entry Precast Weight Station Buildings. Oldcastle Infrastructure’s turnkey scope of work consisted of the manufacturing, outfitting and installation of (2) two RCS 13830 Precast Concrete POE Buildings.
PRECAST SOLUTION
The ODOT, using metal office trailers in the past, knew it was essential, going forward, to provide a more secure and durable building to house the DOT employees that weigh and regulate the trucking industry on Oklahoma’s highways. They chose precast concrete construction as the solution.
The turnkey project involved the manufacturing and complete out-fitting of Oldcastle Infrastructure’s RCS 13830 Precast Concrete Buildings with all specified equipment. In addition, the fully out-fitted buildings were shipped, off loaded and installed at the POE sites near Oklahoma City. The RCS 13830 Precast Concrete Buildings were manufactured at our Newnan, GA facility.
