CKC worked closely with the geotechnical engineer and contractor to design the most efficient deep foundation system. The 220,000 square feet casino structure was designed on floating foundations. The site had a high water table and was sitting on dredge spoils. The native soils created a challenge for the project. The casino and back of house structures were designed using long-span composite steel with steel bracing to resist wind loading. Amenities include a golf course, tennis, swimming pools, spa and fitness center, and restaurants.ĬKC studied several structural framing options and selected cast-in-place concrete system with post-tensioned slabs for the hotel towers and concrete shear walls to resist lateral loads. The hotel is composed of a 20-story tower and a 14-story tower. This site consists of two hotel towers, a casino on floating foundations, spa, ballrooms, outdoor amenities and a parking structure. The Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino Resort is located at the riverfront of Lake Charles.
