Salt Lake City, Utah (2017 - Present)
Since 2017, OCI has been providing the General Contractor, a joint venture between Holder Construction and Big-D Construction known as HDJV, with quality control consulting services for the new SLC TRP project. This ongoing $5 billion+ project is the largest construction project in Utah’s history and is the first major airport reconstruction in the country during the 21st century. OCI is proud to be a part of the project team that includes some of the following key members:
- Salt Lake City – Owner
- Project Management Team (PMT) – Owner’s Representative
- HDJV, A Joint Venture – General Contractor
- HOK Group, Inc. – Design Team Lead, Architect and Structural Engineer
- Dunn Associates, Inc. – Subcontracted Structural Engineer
- Reaveley Engineers – Subcontracted Structural Engineer
- GSH Materials Testing & Inspection – Contractor's Quality Control Testing Firm
- Terracon Consultants, Inc. – Owner’s Testing and Special Inspection Firm
To date, OCI has assisted the project team with structural and life safety quality control consulting services for all 4 construction phases as follows.
OCI’s scope of services continue to evolve throughout the project to accommodate HDJV’s needs and help the team work out solutions to issues as they arise. These consulting services included some of the following:
- Reinforced Concrete is used for the underground tunnel, pile cap and grade beam foundations, slabs on grade, and slabs on metal decking. OCI works closely with HDJV, the design team, and the concrete subcontractor to see that reinforcing steel is correctly placed in a timely manner in order to pass inspections and maintain project schedule.
- Post-Tensioned Concrete was heavily utilized at the Parking Garage and Elevated Roadway. OCI closely reviewed PT shop drawings and worked with the concrete subcontractor and their team to properly implement the requirements. This included numerous coordination efforts with the structural engineer, PT designer, and special inspector. OCI assisted with pre-pour work and post-tensioning efforts.
- Structural Masonry walls are constructed throughout the Terminal, Gateway, and Concourses. When problems arise, OCI assist the masonry contractors to properly follow building codes and project requirements.
- Structural Steel is widely utilized on nearly each project in the facility. It has been fabricated at various facilities throughout the world including Thailand, Canada, Arizona, Utah, and more. OCI facilitates QC efforts in accordance with AWS D1.1, reviews shop drawings, and works with both the steel erectors and inspectors in the field.
- Firestopping is installed at each penetration and joint for fire rated walls throughout the building. OCI coordinates with HDJV, firestopping contractors, firestopping suppliers, city inspectors, and Terracon to successfully inspect thousands of firestopping installations.
- Seismic Bracing is implemented for nearly all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) and other contractors in accordance with ASCE 7, NFPA 13, and other applicable building codes. HDJV consults OCI to review seismic bracing shop drawings, help the contractors correctly interpret seismic bracing requirements, install them accordingly, and pass designer and 3rd party inspections.

We identify quality and constructability issues during our shop drawing review or observation of construction activities. We then work with the project team to help bring these items to quick resolution and pass final inspections, which keeps the project on schedule and avoids costly rework. Our certified consultants assist in the following areas:
- Reinforced Concrete
- Post-Tensioned Concrete
- Structural Steel
- Metal Framing
- Firestopping

Texas Instruments Semiconductor Fabrication Plant (LFAB2)
Lehi, Utah (2025 - Present)
Stemming from the CHIPS Act passed by Congress to advance semiconductor manufacturing and research in the USA, Texas Instruments (TI) announced plans to invest $11B into Utah for this endeavor, making it the largest economic investment in Utah's history. As part of this investment, TI is constructing a new 300 mm semiconductor wafer fabrication plant (known as LFAB2) alongside its existing LFAB1 plant in Lehi, Utah. Once complete, the two fabrication plants will be streamlined to operate as one and produce tens of millions of processing chips each day.
The general contractor, a joint venture between
Austin Commercial
and
Okland Construction, has tapped OCI to provide 2 full-time quality consultants for this project. A Civil-Structural-Architectural (CSA) consultant is helping the contractor team maintain schedule and meet quality requirements for earthwork, reinforced concrete, and interiors. A second structural steel consultant assists the team with fabricating and erecting structural steel.
Cottonwood Connections
Cottonwood Heights, Utah (2024 - Present)
In an effort to improve water conveying throughout the Cottonwood Heights area, the Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake & Sandy (MWDSLS) hired Hazen and Sawyer to design and engineer this project, which installs over 2,000 linear feet of new welded steel pipe. 2 prime contractors, COP Construction and Whitaker Construction were selected to tackle this complex, multi-year project that takes place throughout various active streets, including Fort Union Boulevard.
Given the fast construction schedule and steel pipe welding complexities for pipes that vary between 36 and 72 inches in diameter, Hazen partnered with OCI to provide a full time consultant for welding observation and inspections. We also observed ongoing trench excavation, backfill, pipe setting, and non-destructive testing of pipe joints. OCI works with both COP and Whitaker, as well as their welding subcontractors, to see that welding quality is achieved correctly and in a timely manner that does not hold up pipe backfill or opening roadways back up to the public.
Aligned/Meta Data Center
West Jordan, Utah, 2024 to 2025
In 2024, OCI partnered with Performance Contracting, Inc. (PCI) to assist them as they constructed a new unistrut platform system to frame hot aisle containment (HAC) units within an existing Meta data center. Project specifications called for stringent bolt torque testing requirements that the team initially struggled to meet. Our ICC and CWI certified consultants worked alongside PCI to identify the issues and needed corrections. We also assisted them as they navigated discussions with the design team, general contractor, and material suppliers to ultimately come up with torquing solutions and keep the project on track.
The project team consisted of:
- Meta Platforms, Inc. - Owner
- HITT Contracting - General Contractor
- Performance Contracting, Inc. - HAC Subcontractor
- DCI Engineers - Design Professional
