BE Structural worked on the addition of a long span structure to clear span a new natatorium, gymnasium and auditorium. The project included a structural interface addition with the existing structure and the addition of a new classroom and cafeteria, as well as the renovation of an existing space to modify the function.

BE Structural worked on the addition of classroom and barracks space to the existing police barracks. The structure consists of metal deck roof over long span steel joints. The second floor is formed with a concrete topping over metal deck supported by steel joints and structural steel beams. The lateral system consists of structural steel frames in both directions supported by concrete spread footings.

BE Structural provided structural engineering and design services for the addition of offices to an existing building on the campus of Messiah College. Framing consists of structural steel frame with bar joist and metal deck roof, and a second floor framed with structural steel and concrete over metal deck and bar joist supported in spread footings.

BE Structural worked on the addition of a greenhouse to Kline Science Hall. The project required the analysis of an aluminum-framed structure supported by a half height masonry wall. Snowdrift from the adjacent structure required tighter spacing of frames adjacent to the existing building.

Due to the renovations required in portions of Founder’s Hall, new Air Handling Units needed to be installed, as well as new vent grills to allow for high outside air requirements. Structural analysis and modifications were required to accommodate the new vents and installation of the new mechanical equipment. Installations of long span lintels were designed to limit the deflection of the exterior masonry stone and to anchor the stone at the opening perimeter to the structural steel frame.

BE Structural conducted a Central Plant Study in an effort to examine the feasibility of utilizing the plant in the renovation of an existing school. Structural considerations were made in the running of piping from the central plant over a pedestrian bridge crossing a small stream.

BE Structural worked on the renovation and addition to an elementary school. The new construction consisted of a metal deck roof supported by open web steel joists and load bearing reinforced concrete masonry units on concrete spread footings.

BE Structural worked on the addition of a mezzanine hung from the inside of the structural steel trusses.

BE Structural worked on the renovation of an existing four-story classroom and office building on the campus of the University of Hawaii. The existing structure is cast in place concrete with precast beams, cast in place slabs and columns. Due to the increase in floor loading in some areas the main girders needed to be strengthened to meet the current code requirements for shear strength. The project included the addition of a new mechanical building adjacent to house the new chillers and cooling towers for the air condition system.

BE Structural worked on the renovation and seismic upgrade of an existing three story precast / cast in place concrete research facility.
