Hubbard Orangutan Forest
Henry Doorly Zoo
Omaha, Nebraska
|
 A new stair and elevator tower serves as the gateway to the expanded orangutan exhibit as well as the new gorilla valley complex which Thiele Geotech worked on in 2004. The project included an addition to the existing orangutan building, new outdoor orangutan displays, and a network of access tunnels and corridors to serve the facility and the future panda exhibit. Thiele Geotech performed the geotechnical exploration in 2003, materials testing and special inspections during construction in 2005 with completion in 2005.

MOPAC Trail
Highway 50 to Chalco Hills
Sarpy County, Nebraska |
| Thiele Geotech, Inc. completed a geotechnical exploration study in 2007 for the proposed MOPAC Trail to be located near Highway 50 to Chalco Hills in Omaha, Nebraska. The project consists of constructing a recreation trail which will link an existing trail along Highway 50 to a trail at the Chalco Hills Recreation Area. The new section of trail will extend west from Highway 50 along the south side of Schram Road. The trail crosses Interstate 80 on the existing Schram Road/168th Street overpass and extends north along the east side of 168th Street until it reaches Papio-Missouri River NRD property at the headwater of Wehrspahn Lake. The trail will traverse this property diagonally until it reaches Highway 370. Thiele Geotech, Inc. also provided piling analysis for a potential crossing system consisting of either a trail bridge or an embankment on the northern end of the trail within Chalco Hills Recreation Area.
