The construction included fifty-nine (59) wind turbines including access roads and crane pads located in Claude, Texas. MTC provided testing of site access road earthwork with density and proof-rolling observations, foundations work with subgrade, backfill and concrete testing for strength and density. Crane pad earthwork included subgrade proof-roll and compaction testing. Grout was also tested. The construction included the installation of collection lines to support the wind turbines. MTC tested initially every 1,000 to 1,500 ft for the first 10,000 to 15,000 ft, then every mile.

This MTC project at MSU involved construction of Addition #3 to the 6,000+-seat Munn Ice Arena. The new 16,000 sq ft facility was a two-story, fireproofed steel structure with an underground lower level. The addition now houses a hockey team locker room, hydrotherapy pools, meeting spaces, a weight room and medical suites. MTC oversaw soldier pile and tangential pile installation, installation of soldier pile anchors and tiebacks, and performed testing of subgrade, concrete, masonry, foundations, structural steel and asphalt paving for the arena.
