MSU Munn Ice Arena

Location: East Lansing, Michigan

Client: Michigan State University

Services: Construction Materials Testing

  • 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.
