Challenge: Just days from breaking ground, there was doubt shed on the structural integrity of steel framing to support 18” steel pipe for an industrial build project. Stepped in to revise calculations of another civil engineer, provide a second structural and geotechnical assessment and render a new structural solution.
Action: Studied soil profile, conducted stability analysis to determine foundation dimension, designed steel reinforcement using ACI 318-11 code, beam and column via ETABS to support steel pipe.
Results: Senior Engineer with many years of experience reviewed and approved design. Plan was approved with no changes, safely installed and in operation today.
