The Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital (LPCH) constructed a 520,000 square foot, 6-story expansion hospital at Stanford University. Located directly next to the existing, operating LPCH facility and bounded on all sides by existing buildings, live utilities, and busy campus streets, the project required a complex shored excavation up to 40 feet deep to facilitate construction of
the hospital’s two basement levels. Degenkolb Engineers was retained by DPR Construction to provide scoping documents for the entire shoring system and to carry all OSHPD-jurisdiction shoring through 100% design, OSHPD permitting, and construction administration.
