CHALLENGES

Planning for 12 Stone Church Lawrenceville began a year in advance of the project. The 68-acre project site required extensive preparation and site work prior to construction.

Van Winkle overcame the most notable terrain challenge, a 40-foot-deep ravine at the proposed building’s front, by erecting a 110-foot-long steel bridge to serve entry and egress to the church. Construction of this bridge enabled delivery of construction materials and equipment during construction.
