PROJECTS
Large Bay Crane Building
This industrial crane building was designed to accommodate the clients' need to process material with up to 80 ft lengths. The columns were designed to be unbraced and carry four 10 ton overhead cranes. The roof was supported with jack beams and light gauge material which improved the lead time and price point on the project by avoiding open web steel roof joists.
Industrial Facility with cranes & catwalks
Working alongside an italian company, this project had incredible complexity with multiple monorail crane systems, cat walks, a fiberglass roof system (corrosion resistant) and a large wind beam at each end.
The Vineyard Church in Arlington, TX
This project turned out to be a real head turner! This 10,000 sq ft building was a single slope with a wall surface change centered in the building as the entry point for church goers. The exterior had many features including a inset endwall, full soffit eave extension, corten steel (rust intentional!) exterior panel with many glass accent windows.
The Table Community Church
This project had many interesting features: a fixed louver system with cantilevered architectural accent tubes, a fiber cement wall supported by a collector system, wrapped accent corners, large glass entries and a covered walkway all kept water tight with a standing seam roof. A truly beautiful building for people to gather and worship.
Frack Sand Storage Building
This project was designed for the West Texas oil industry. Upon completion, this building had multiple conveyor systems and catwalks that routed frack sand into this 60 foot tall structure.
Flex Office in Azle, TX
This architectural beauty had a myriad of complexities: brick lintels supported by soldier columns, inset wall sections, and a variable height parapet with multi-directional panel.
HG SPLY, CO restaurant in Trophy Club, TX
Sitting between a quonset hut and a trendy bar/kitchen, this roof structure had many of it's own unique qualities: cantilevered beams for interior aesthetics, a sunshade wall and a special bracing system that catered to the owner's needs.
"I want to thank you for putting in an enormous amount of thought into this. You are more thorough than any other steel building engineer I’ve worked with." -Levi Hooten (GFF Architects)
Production Machine & Tool in Wichita Falls, TX
An inside look at the transverse crane building with jack beams and the RTU opening. This building required two 15-ton transversely operational cranes which posed a significant challenge in the design software. Additionally, jack beams were required to support the 150-ft rafter and large RTU. Located in Wichita Falls, TX. Erection by Gill Welding, LLC.
Backyard Treehouse
This structure was a design/build project for a very specific client with vertically challenged needs. Utilizing a hybrid structural system including: a tubular steel subfloor, timber bracing struts, wood panel shear walls and floor diaphragm, a light gauge corrugated roof and spiral stair case to match the spiral slide; this treehouse is one of a kind! Although, not complete to date, here is a progress picture.
