PROJECT BACKGROUND
Bedford Dwellings Phase 2 is the redevelopment of the former Francis Street neighborhood into a vibrant mixed-income community of new apartments, townhouses, parks and green spaces. This project is the second phase of a multi-phase redevelopment effort in multiple locations in the Hill District, being undertaken by the Housing Authority (HACP) and Trek Development Group (Trek) that is being funded via a Choice Neighborhood Grant from HUD. Phase 2 includes the construction of 180-units (1-bedroom, 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom) apartments and townhouses in 10 new structures, as well as the associated parking, green spaces and utilities to completely transform the property into a new community.
UNIQUE SITE CONDITIONS AND INTIAL SCOPE OF WORK
The former Francis Neighborhood (HACP 10-F-210 and portion of URA 25-S-112) is extensively undermined with abandoned coal mines. The project’s geotechnical engineer is recommending the mines be grouted which involves drilling approximately 300 holes from the surface into the mines, then injecting grout/cement into the holes and mines to decrease the likelihood of subsidence or differential settlement. Trees must be removed to allow a drilling rig to access each of the 300 locations. Furthermore, there is an existing 12-inch gas line running north-south through the middle of the property. This gas line must be relocated to be away from where work on new housing units will occur and placed into a right-of-way for future gas company access and maintenance.
