Structural
Engineers, Inc.

TDEG worked with the LEED design consultant and the design/build team proposing potential sustainable structural materials and means/methods that could be incorporated into the design and construction of the project. Design features and issues included;

• Roof mounted solar panels, skylights and landscaped "green roof"
• Evaluate the capacity of the present roof structure to support additional loading
• Design strengthening of the roof structure, as required for the proposed new loading that would exceed the roof capacity
• Design additional roof framing to allow for new roof openings; skylights, vents and mechanical system openings, etc.
• Hangar doors replacement; Assist hangar door design/build entity with Structural Engineering issues related to the present structure; additional roof loading, connections, floor slab track installation.
• Aircraft maintenance catwalk suspension system installation. Sub-framing system hung from the roof structure to facilitate aircraft service.
• Assist catwalk suspension system design/build entity with Structural Engineering issues related to the present structure; affect of the additional loading, bracing, etc.
• Hangar floor slab condition assessment; Load capacity for continued usage, Condition survey and evaluation; cracking, spalling, settling, etc., Trenching of existing slab for new underground utilities, Cutting existing slab for new elevator pit, as required, Evaluation of slab restoration/replacement, Specify slab topping and finishing, as required, Evaluate cutting of the slab for the new hangar door floor track
• Site security gates; Vertical pivot cantilever security gates

The construction cost of the project is budgeted at $20 million.
