F&R has worked under contract with the College of William & Mary for decades, providing our core services. Of particular note is our extensive work at the Virginia Institute for Marine Science’s campuses along the eastern shore of Virginia. F&R provided construction materials testing and special inspections for the Davis Hall Research Facility, a 32,000-square-foot two-story steel frame masonry wall building designed for office space and laboratories. Our engineers and technicians provided inspections of soils and controlled fill, observed proof rolling operations of the building, parking, and roadway subgrades before and following the placement of structural fill and/or base stone, evaluated foundation subgrades, and tested placement of cast-in-place structural concrete, masonry, structural steel, and light gauge metal framing.

Before the demolition and renovation of surrounding facilities, F&R’s hazardous materials professionals provided surveys for asbestos, lead-based paint, and PCBs.
