An overnight shipping company needed to renovate a facility in order to accommodate a healthcare manufacturing client, which required robust mechanical systems to comply with strict regulations. The solution was to reinforce an existing open web steel joist roof framing.

CVM led a multi-discipline team to optimally locate mechanical units on the building’s roof, perform a hands-on assessment of joist members to inform a structural analysis and develop a cost-effective strengthening strategy that satisfied the client as well as new loading demands on the roof.
