Carson Concrete built the 17-story Dockside Residences condominium in Philadelphia in 2002. The 242 unit luxury waterfront building resembles a docked ship overlooking the Delaware River. Carson Concrete constructed a post-tensioned concrete frame for the residential floors and a system of beams and post-tensioned slabs to support the parking decks, including a 370 space garage. A series of girders on the fourth floor transitions structural support between the residential and parking levels.

2. Introduction
 Anthony Samango III possesses the experience
needed to guide Carson Concrete, one of the leaders
in Philadelphia's construction industry.Among the
company's most well-known projects is Dockside -
The Residences at Pier 30. Carson Concrete built a
concrete frame, which was completed in 2002.
Standing 17 stories, Dockside Residences is a luxury
condominium that overlooks the Delaware River. To
match its surroundings, the condo resembles a
docked ship. The property comprises 242 units and a
three-story parking garage able to accommodate 370
vehicles.

3. Underpinnings
 Construction workers and engineers appreciate the
craftsmanship that went into building Dockside
Residences' framework. The concrete, flat-plate
system used to situate the residential floors is a post-
tensioned, cast-in-place structure. At the base, the
structural system used to support the parking decks is
composed of a system of beams and post-tensioned
slabs.
In the middle, the fourth floor serves as a sort of
keystone for the complex. A series of girders
transitions weight and support between the grid of
columns used to erect the residential levels and the
grid of columns found in the parking-deck levels.
