the Products

Structural system: The building’s superstructure utilizes steel columns and floor framing beams supporting composite metal deck floor slabs. An innovative steel braced ladder-frame lateral system runs along the central spine of the two main wings of the building. The below-grade structure consists of a combination of conventional reinforced concrete flat slabs and reinforced concrete beams and girders with one-way spanning slabs. The foundation system typically consists of a combination of perimeter slurry walls and interior rectangular load bearing elements (LBE) supporting the building columns, with a slurry wall retention system at the basement perimeter or caissons.
