- **Engineering and site recommendations:** Olsson’s geotechnical report recommends a shallow mat foundation supported by at least 1 foot of structural fill, with maximum net allowable bearing pressure of 1,500 psf. Existing soils generally appear suitable for reuse as structural fill; groundwater was observed about 9–9.5 feet below grade and is not anticipated to affect construction.

The design also specifies a Hilti HIT-HY 200 V3 adhesive anchor system with HAS-V-36, 5/8-inch anchors, and 10-inch nominal embedment. Hilti item numbers are 2198027 (HAS-V-36 element) and 2334276 (HIT-HY 200-R V3 adhesive). Quantities are not provided.
- **Notable technical requirements:** The structural calculations reference the 2021 IBC, ASCE 7-16, ACI 318-19, and AISC 15th Edition. The design indicates structural loads not exceeding 50 kips and includes grade-beam foundation and anchor calculations.
- **OEMs and engineering firms named:** **Hilti** is specified for the adhesive anchor system; **WHP Training Towers** is named for the modular fire training simulator; Olsson, Inc. is named in the geotechnical report; and CEO Structural Engineers, Inc. is named in the structural calculations.
