THE CHATEAU AT HEAVENLY VILLAGE
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, CA

The much anticipated Chateau in South Lake Tahoe, California is a 20 acre, $420 million redevelopment project that will provide two luxury condo-hotels, retail space and the long awaited convention center to this resort destination. Due to the seasonal constraints of the area, construction efforts and associated inspection and testing for this project will be performed under an extremely aggressive construction schedule. MatriScope is effectively performing their scope on this project by remaining flexible and responsive to the scheduling requirements of the associated contractors by maintaining four full time multi-disciplined inspectors and one senior resident inspector working a variety of shifts to complete the job. Construction is expected to be complete in winter 2009.

MatriScope is under contract to perform construction observation related to engineered fill placement, structural concrete, masonry, and structural steel.

OLD SUGAR MILL
CLARKSBURG, CA

Old Sugar Mill is located in Yolo County along the west side of the Sacramento River. It is a 1930's-era factory and was once home to American Crystal Sugar Company and Delta Sugar Corporation.

Wineries and a custom crush facility were among the first businesses to open there in 2005. Construction included the extensive renovation and reuse of 120,000 square foot structure including a seismic upgrade and new tenant build out.

MatriScope performed geotechnical engineering, and construction inspection and testing of engineered fill, reinforced concrete, masonry, high strength bolting and structural welding.
