This industrial warehouse project in Houston, Texas, was designed to accommodate large-scale storage and distribution operations. The warehouse structure is a single-story building featuring a wide-span roof supported by steel beams and columns. The design includes loading docks, mezzanine floors for office spaces, and provisions for heavy equipment and material handling systems. The structural detailing involved complex truss systems to provide the necessary strength and stability for the roof, which spans significant distances without interior columns to maximize usable space. The warehouse also includes a fire-rated compartmentation system, requiring precise detailing for fire-resistance-rated walls and ceilings, following strict safety regulations. Structural Steel Used: 500 tons of high-strength steel Industrial Warehouse.

Hours Worked: 2,000 hours

Detailers Involved: 3 detailers

Standards and Codes: AISC, IBC, OSHA text

This project is a 12-story office building located in the bustling Northgate area of Seattle. The design features a modern steel frame structure, providing the flexibility needed for open office spaces with minimal interior columns. The building's façade combines glass and steel, creating a sleek and contemporary appearance that reflects the high-tech companies it houses. The structural detailing included a highly efficient lateral load-resisting system to combat the seismic activity common in the Pacific Northwest. This involved incorporating moment frames and braced frames strategically within the building. The building also includes rooftop mechanical equipment, requiring detailed coordination between the steel structure and mechanical systems.

Structural Steel Used: 1,200 tons of high-strength, low-alloy steel

Hours Worked: 5,000 hours

Detailers Involved: 5 detailers

Standards and Codes: AISC, ASCE 7, LEED, WABO

This project involved the design and detailing of an external staircase for a commercial building in Chicago, Illinois. The staircase provides emergency egress for the building occupants and doubles as an architectural feature. Its exposed steel structure needed to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The design features a zigzag configuration, with the stairs enclosed by steel railings and grating. The staircase was engineered to handle heavy foot traffic and was designed to integrate seamlessly with the building's exterior while also meeting stringent safety and fire codes. The structure was hot-dip galvanized to protect against corrosion, given Chicago's varied and sometimes harsh climate conditions.

Structural Steel Used: 150 tons of galvanized steel

Hours Worked: 800 hours

Detailers Involved: 2 detailers

Standards and Codes: AISC, ADA, NFPA, ASTM A123/A123M

This project involved detailing the structural steel framework for a 15-story commercial building in Chicago. The detailing work focused on the core structure, including beams, columns, and floor decking systems. The complexity of the project required precise coordination with the design team to ensure accuracy in the steel connections and adherence to local building codes.

This office complex was detailed following AISC standards to ensure the highest quality in structural integrity and safety. The project involved the collaboration of a team of 6 detailers who meticulously worked for a total of 1,200 hours. Each beam, column, and connection was modeled and checked using advanced BIM software, ensuring precise alignment and fit during fabrication and erection. The project spanned three months and included complex connections that required innovative detailing solutions.

The expansion of Terminal 3 at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport was a high-stakes project requiring exacting standards and precision. Using AISC standards, our team of 8 detailers invested over 2,000 hours in modeling, checking, and coordinating with fabricators and constructors. This project featured large-span trusses and a complex roof structure, which were detailed to accommodate various loads and service requirements. The use of BIM technology facilitated clash detection and seamless coordination with other trades.
