TXDOT Brine and Salt Shed Projects

  • 3 projects, 8 brine sheds and 3 salt sheds
  • Location: In the cities of Dallas Fort Worth, Lubbuck and Austin.

This project encompassed complete site development and the construction of state-of-the-art salt and brine storage facility. Work began with comprehensive site clearing and grading, followed by the excavation of approximately two feet of existing soils. Engineered select fill was then placed and compacted to achieve the required subgrade elevation, ensuring a stable foundation for long-term performance.

The structure was built on an on-grade slab composed of 7-inch-thick, 5000 PSI reinforced concrete, integrated with perimeter and intersection grade beams for superior structural integrity. Above the slab, 1-foot-wide by 6-foot-high concrete containment walls were formed and poured to provide secure and durable material storage.

The superstructure featured 2×6 wood framing with pre-engineered roof trusses, complemented by ½-inch structural wall sheathing and ¾-inch roof decking. The roofing system utilized 22-gauge metal panels with a complete gutter system, while the exterior showcased Hardie panel siding with batten trim, delivering both durability and a clean architectural finish.

Additional enhancements included premium exterior coatings, interior bird netting, and stainless steel hurricane brackets for enhanced wind resistance in high-wind zones. The project was executed with zero safety incidents, and the client expressed complete satisfaction with the final product.
