Lafarge Aggregates Plant
Lithonia, GA
Performed structural condition assessment of a fractionated aggregate plant originally constructed circa 1920. The analysis identified damaged deteriorated structural components in need of repair and structural modifications that needed to be engineered and reinforced. These included gravity carrying members that include columns, vertical truss webs and tunnel ceiling slabs, and lateral load carrying members including bracing and connections that have been removed and/or modified. Additionally, recommended the rust be removed and the steel repainted to minimize further deterioration.

Marine Corps Logistics Base, Central Repair Shop
Albany, GA
As-built structural analysis and design for the replacement of the existing 35 and 75 ton bridge cranes with 100 ton bridge cranes and the addition of (30) 3 ton jib cranes to the center crane runway support columns. The crane runway beams and supporting columns required replacement, and the foundations required enlargement. Additional challenges faced on project included HTRW remediation in the soil and superstructure.
