Project Highlight: Durham Police Headquarters Complex
This 4.5-acre
site in the heart of Durham, consolidates all police functions currently housed
in multiple locations throughout the city. The structure will provide a secure
parking deck as well as provide space for all police and emergency 911
functions be in the same building. Donley’s provided concrete contractor services
and fulfilled the role of Construction Manager for this project. Its success is
due to the collaboration of all team members, the utilization of the team’s
industry expertise, and a passion to get the job done right.
Many of the
challenges on this project involved mother nature. Extremely wet conditions,
including rain and snow challenged the team, causing them to work on the
weekends to stay on schedule. To work around these challenges, collaboration
and coordination became even more critical. The team held weekly meetings, and
regular project schedule updates. With safety at the forefront of Donley’s
culture, we also completed extra safety projects to ensure that everyone on the
project could work safely.
Even with
all these challenges, Donley’s completed our scope of work, allowing the
project to successfully be delivered to the City of Durham.
