and drainage. John Stiver, P.E., of Stiver Engineering , provided the civil site design. Drainage was accomplished by elevating the building pad 3 feet above the natural grade to allow for sheet flow. The civil design was put to the test during the floods of Hurricane Harvey, when the manufactur- ing facility was protected and remained fully operational. The select fill was harvest- ed on-site by constructing a 5-acre, L-shaped lake modeled after the company logo. The elevated pad was designed and continued on page 24C
Boyer said: “We started with a rectangular building that would accommodate roughly twice the manufacturing ca- pacity we currently have. We tried numerous orientations and locations, and then we simply deleted any square footage we could live without but left the earthwork in place. We have the luxury of 71 acres overall, so there are options to build adjacent to the existing buildings in the future.” The site conditions had to be addressed for stabilization
of Smith-Midland Corpora- tion (SMID) licensed produc- er update. Lonestar Prestress Manufacturing Inc. in Bell- ville, TX, has been settling into its new 21-acre site after build- ing an 85,000 s/f manufactur- ing facility, with four bays up to 700-feet long and a separate 40’ x 100’ headquarters. Lon- estar is the premier static cast, prestressed concrete pole and Easi-Set Building producer in the Southwest. The company is one of 14 Easi-Set precast concrete building licensed pro- ducers across North America. According to SMID, it was only natural that Lonestar would highlight its precast concrete building capabilities by using an Easi-Span Build- ing for the headquarters and including five Easi-Set Build- ings within the manufacturing facility. The precast concrete buildings were chosen for their strength, durability and affordability. “I have never seen an Easi- Span Building used as a head- quarters, and I have not seen Easi-Set Buildings incorpo- rated into a structure in such a way,” said Art Miles , presi- dent of Easi-Set Worldwide. “It is a stunning facility and very thought out to give Lonestar the space it needs now and room to grow. Lonestar has showcased its manufacturing talents and its thoroughness as engineering professionals, and the quality of this team’s work shows in every aspect of the facilities and the site.” For 25 years, Lonestar oper- ated in a residential area of Houston that was not condu- cive for an expandingmanufac- turing business. Brad Boyer, PE, president of Lonestar, had a vision for making Lonestar’s manufacturing process more efficient. About 18 years ago, the Boyer family purchased a 71-acre Greenfield site in Bell- ville on Highway 159, 60 miles outside of Houston. When Boyer knew it was time to uti- lize this investment, he called on his son, Benjamin Boyer, an engineering student at Texas A&M University, to help with the design. Father and son, pulling from their experience working in multiple areas of Lonestar combined with em- ployee input, rearranged origi- nal concept drawings to design a facility that is safe, efficient,
