Featured Experience

Intuit Dome Clippers Arena – Los Angeles, CA
Shoring design for all elevated slab pours of the podium level and level 1. Shoring was designed to support the appropriate concrete weight, meet deflection limits noted in the project specifications, and to support the worker live loads above. Project required pre-pour inspections and an engineer approval letter prior to every pour to ensure proper installation.

Stanford University – Stanford, CA
Shoring design to support 3 levels of a historic concrete structure to allow for full demolition of several footings to allow for seismic retrofit of a building at the University. The project required coordination with the structural engineer of record and multiple contractors to design a system that could “float” the existing structure safely until new build back was installed. Shoring was designed for a maximum settlement of 1/16th of an inch as directed by the building Engineer of Record due to the sensitivity of concrete and the historic nature of the building.

AT&T Downtown Plaza – Dallas, TX
Design for a 400′-long x 25′-wide x 45′-tall scaffold overhead protection canopy and work platform to allow for access to a portion of the building. Scaffold was designed for a 150 psf overhead protection loading as well as a 50 psf live load. Design included large spans up to 45′ to maintain access to garage openings as well as pedestrian access below and was fully enclosed with architectural finishes and signage.

Tsumas Creek Improvements – Oxnard, CA
Cantilevered beam and plate soil shoring design to allow for a new concrete culvert installation. Designed the shoring to be phased to allow for certain road closures and designed the bracing to support the surcharge loading from the adjacent roadway. Modeled steel beams and evaluated soil interactions to determine required pile embedment and beam sizes.

Epic Phase 2 – Dallas, TX
Scaffold design for a 50′ cantilever out of an existing concrete building to allow for access/installation of a new steel overhang. Produced a full 3D model of the system to evaluate all component stresses and deflections.

Sacramento Convention Center – Sacramento, CA
Wall bracing and shoring design to allow for access of a B300 Hydraulic Piling Rig to work adjacent to an existing basement wall. Determined the pressures using the Boussinesq method and designed custom fabricated steel braces to the wall for additional support. Also included in the design was vertical shoring for portions of the podium deck to allow for cross over of the piling rig.

1201 2nd Ave – Seattle, WA
Suspended scaffold design below Level 7 of a new high rise to allow for access. Design included detailed coordination with the contractor and architect to install critical welded eyebolt connections to existing steel beams. Ohio

Veterans Memorial Museum – Columbus, OH
Wall formwork design plans to allow for several hundred feet new 55′-tall concrete walls to be poured. Walls had unique curvature and blockouts that resulted in a-typical loading conditions. Large wind loads on the system was resolved by designing grade beams/braces.

Metropolis – Los Angeles, CA
Shoring and reshore design to allow for concrete pours on a new 50 floor high rise in Los Angeles. Shoring was designed using a quick set shoring system due to the fast construction phasing of pouring a new floor every 5 days. This fast sequencing caused some challenges in the reshore design as floors below the shoring were only partially cured. Detailed review of concrete break tests was critical in this projects success.

NRG Silos – El Segundo, CA Access scaffold design for the perimeter of a 204′-tall x 26′ diameter silo to allow for demolition operations. Scaffold system was fully enclosed with debris netting and multiple lower beam spans to allow for equipment and personnel to pass through to the building interior.
