The Buffalo Bills requested that McMahon & Mann explore the subsurface conditions and prepare a report summarizing the conditions and providing foundation design and construction recommendations for the new addition.
McMahon & Mann’s foundation recommendations included supporting the new structure’s columns with spread footings and designing the building floor as a slab-on-grade. We also provided an allowable bearing pressure, excavation considerations, backfill recommendations, and final grading considerations.
