Westmoreland County Correctional Facility
Location
Greensburg, PA
Project Description
Despite the complexity of the site and construction methods at the Westmoreland County Correctional Facility, Quandel’s management of the project saved the County $3 million. The prison site is located atop an old strip mine. The three-story facility required 14,000 tons of structural steel and concrete caissons 60 feet deep to support it. The prison has 384 cells, 451 beds, and the foundation support for a future fourth floor.

Quandel was a godsend to the County. They took a project that was to cost $35 million with 318 beds and turned it into a $32 million project with 451 beds. Their shepherding of the project saved us $3 million and gave us a much larger bed space capacity.
