Davis Construction’s incredible effort to bring multiple subcontractors onsite simultaneously to keep up with the project’s aggressive schedule and the COVID-19 pandemic presented many challenges for Schnabel. For instance, the company was challenged to work alongside a concrete subcontractor and several interior building subcontractors working out of the ground. Furthermore, the fast pace of the project required extensive pre-planning with 2-week forecasts for material ordering needs to stay on track with the work. Lastly, the COVID-19 pandemic brought serious safety challenges to Schnabel’s labor force along with material escalations and shortages.

In July of 2022, Schnabel successfully installed a temporary excavation support system to facilitate the construction of sub-grade parking garages in the Reston Row District Plaza development site. Extensive pre-planning and safety measures were implemented by Schnabel to overcome the operational and safety challenges that were presented to the company. The project was completed safely, on budget and to the client’s content. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of the project.
