Walmart Distribution Centers Program

Galloway has provided development services for multiple Walmart distribution centers in coordination with Walmart’s special projects team. These services included pavement expansion, truck access drive rehabilitation, and retention-pond improvements.

The scope of work has included:

• Direct coordination with Walmart design managers and preparation of cost estimates to determine the project scope
• Site investigations to determine areas needing rehabilitation and mitigation options
• Coordination with the geotechnical engineer to further refine mitigation options and provide pavement design recommendations
• Production of the civil plans, including pavement repair plans, detail sheets, associated SWPPP plans, and phasing plans
• Involvement during the bidding process, including participation at the pre-bid meetings and responding to bid questions
• Involvement during construction, including performing the SWPPP preconstruction meeting, SWPPP inspections, and punch walk inspections for conformance with the construction documents and specifications.

Galloway successfully addressed numerous challenges and special considerations for these projects, which included phasing and temporary trailer parking, as all centers remained operational during construction; preservation of existing in-service underground utilities throughout the design and construction process; phasing of installation of BMPs to meet Walmart SWPPP guidelines; lighting design that addressed requirements for expanded parking lot pavement areas; and establishment of the most cost-effective repair or expansion plan, in coordination with the design manager, given the project’s specific construction budget constraints.
