Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) was looking to cue the assembly process for the Range Rover Velar GT EMA L481 model, concentrating on the production of critical body panels—wheelhouse rear quarter, Body Sides Inner (BSI), Body Sides Inner Reinforcement (BSIR), and Body Sides Outer (BSO). Ultimately, the prime goal was to optimize design and manufacturing processes in terms of efficiency, accuracy, and cycle time reduction.
Morrow High School, a public institution in Jonesboro, GA, required a complex steel detailing and connection design solution for its multi-building campus. The project, fabricated by Stein Steel, encompassed a three-level educational building, a gym, multiple locker rooms, and field house plans, including dugouts. With a total steel tonnage of 2,500 and a strict 24-week schedule, the project demanded precision, efficiency, and seamless coordination.
Our scope included all main and miscellaneous steel detailing, connection design, and delegated design. A key challenge was the design and detailing of 16 different staircases, including spiral, circular, grand, social, garage, and dog-leg stairs. Particularly, the circular stairs required intricate detailing due to their short radius and single intermediate supporting member. The spiral stairs added further complexity, featuring rolled HSS with vertical offsets, radial pans, and perforated risers, with an intermediate landing supported by a single tapered cantilever beam.
We efficiently managed 23 detailing sequences, delivering sealed design calculation reports, connection design reports, erection drawings, and shop fabrication drawings. By integrating structural and architectural inputs with advanced analysis, we ensured compliance, stability, and seamless execution. Despite the challenges, our expertise enabled the timely completion of this intricate project within the fabrication release schedule.
The Taylorsville Utah Temple, located in Taylorsville, Utah, presented a distinctive challenge due to its complex geometry and intricate framing conditions. Fabricated by Lundahl, this 850-ton church building required meticulous steel detailing and connection design to ensure precision, stability, and seamless execution within a strict 15-week schedule.
Our scope covered key structural components, including gravity columns, base plates, anchor bolts, steel moment frame columns, cooling tower support steel, floor and roof framing, floor opening frames, embeds, bent plates, safety posts, BRB brace connections, stairs, and railings. One of the primary challenges was coordinating heavy anchor bolts with anchorage frames and navigating the complex roof geometry, which featured multiple hip and valley framing conditions.
By integrating structural and architectural inputs, we conducted in-depth analysis and submitted sealed design calculation reports to validate the integrity of the connections. Our team delivered erection drawings for approval, sealed design calculations, and detailed shop fabrication drawings, ensuring smooth coordination with fabricators and contractors.
Despite the project’s complexity, our expertise in delegated design and detailing allowed for precise execution, ensuring compliance, efficiency, and on-time completion. The result was a structurally sound and aesthetically refined temple that met all engineering and architectural expectations.
