This $94 million expansion included a new parking structure with over 800 parking spaces and a 15-story luxury hotel tower with 214 rooms and suites at Chukchansi Gold Resort. O’Dell Engineering, a Westwood company was retained to provide survey services including the initial mass grading/slope staking, new wet and dry utilities, surface site improvements, anchor bolt as-builts, plumb & alignment of each lift of the steel columns, control for the elevated gridline all the way up to the top Penthouse level, and settlement & deflection monitoring. In order for the new hotel to be positioned properly, great care was exercised in as-builting the existing structure, using our reflectorless total stations to locate and measure the existing foundation as well as the deflection of its existing walls so the correct clearance can be maintained as the new construction progresses.
