WEST HOLLYWOOD EDITION HOTEL

Contractor: PANKOW PNETA BUILDERS, LLC

The WEHO Edition Hotel located at the heart of West Hollywood is one of West Hollywood’s iconic hotels. Calex is proud to have contributed alongside Pankow Builders in the early construction phases for the earthwork excavation and shoring for the 4-level subterrain parking structure. The narrow connection between the two buildings, spanning roughly 50 feet, posed its share of challenges. Yet, with Calex's seasoned team of expertise, Calex was able to coordinate and move the soil efficiently, ensuring another successful project completion. The project utilized 157 soldier piles, 231 tiebacks, and 3 corner braces. 36,392 SF of wall was shored, spanning a total perimeter length of 1,178 LF. Excavation depths ranged from 9 ft to a maximum 51 ft, necessitating the use of up to 3 rows of tiebacks to retain the earth. Calex Engineering executed both the mass excavation and shoring scopes to again meet the project deadline.
