Butler Marine Dry Stack
Project Description
This project involved the design of a pre-engineered metal building for boat and trailer storage. The structure required a heavy-duty slab design to support boat loads. The building features a concrete foundation and steel framework to provide the durability needed for the long-term storage of marine equipment.
The Challenge
The project presented the challenge of designing a heavy-duty slab capable of supporting significant boat storage loads. The pre-engineered metal building needed to be optimized for durability and ease of construction while maintaining structural integrity for long-term use.
The Solution
29e6 provided the full structural engineering services, including detailed structural contract documents for the building’s foundation and slab design. The scope included:
Slab and foundation plans
Footing details and rebar schedules
Coordination with the metal building manufacturer to ensure proper column reactions
Structural calculations and section details
The Improvements
Key improvements included enhancing the foundation design and ensuring proper coordination during the design phase. The detailed footing and slab plan helped avoid potential issues during construction, saving time and ensuring a smooth build process.
The Results
The result was a fully operational, durable boat storage facility with a robust foundation that meets the required load capacity. The project was completed on time and within the planned scope, ensuring both the owner and client were satisfied with the outcome.
