The Kenwood by Senior Star

Project Write Up

Considering the site chosen for The Kenwood by Senior Star it was almost as if someone was testing our design skill.  The existing topography was made up of unstable soil conditions and extremely steep hillsides.  The building was designed to fit into the hillside, so our site design was critical.  In addition to the topography issues, FAA approval was required because the tower cranes used during construction extended into Lunken Airport’s airspace.

One of our responsibilities as design professionals is controlling costs where we can and saving time for our clients.  Bayer Becker was able to do both, by providing MEP building layout services for the project.  During the course of construction, our survey crews used a combination of robotic and GPS technology to successfully lay out over 5000 points on the 18 story high-rise.  The points assisted the plumbing and HVAC contractors installing utilities through the post-tensioned decks before the concrete was poured, reducing the amount of time needed between pours by two days per floor. 

As part of our project design services, Bayer Becker served as a liaison, coordinating design services with the out of town architect, MEP consultants and the General Contractor helping the project finish on time.
