Walmart
Bozeman’s First Big Box
Service: Concrete, Soils, and Compaction Testing; Construction Management & Inspection
The Challenge
The Walmart Supercenter on North 7th Avenue, one of the first large-format retail developments to come to Bozeman, presented layered challenges from the outset. The site, adjacent to the interstate, required special attention to in-place soils and an existing drainage course. Before engineering could begin, several months of negotiation with community officials were required to establish an improvement agreement that made the project viable.
Our Solution
Gaston Engineering & Surveying provided full civil and geotechnical engineering, including site design, water and sewer, and extensive grading and drainage. We managed parking area design, landscaping coordination, construction inspection, and quality control testing from start to finish — working in close coordination with the project architects to integrate site improvements with the building design.
