Big steel, big progress out in the Bay Area!
Our Moment Frame is officially up, and if you've been following along, these are some serious pieces of steel! With W44x408 columns weighing in just shy of 23,000 lbs. each and trusses tipping the scales at nearly 11,000 lbs., there's no shortage of heavy lifting on this project!
With ongoing mill lead times and material availability challenges, keeping projects moving takes a little creativity and a lot of coordination.
To help our customer stay on schedule, we took a phased approach to er****on, installing all of the project's HSS gravity columns first so the panelized roof contractor could get a head start. Once the Moment Frame material arrived from the mill, we were able to fabricate it, ship it to the site, and get it erected right off the trucks!
Now, with the remaining wide-flange drag line member material just arriving from the mill, we are in the last steps of structural fabrication and that material will be headed to the field shortly. Once installed, we'll be one step closer to getting this building dried in and ready for its future occupant, Amazon!
We're proud of the teamwork and coordination it takes to keep a project like this moving forward, even when the supply chain throws a few curveballs.
Stay tuned for more progress from the field! ⚙️🏗️
