The photographs below show a couple of projects completed by Structural Dynamics which required building shoring and the replacement of beams and columns.

Train Depot

This project is a building with historical value which was used as a train depot in the late 1800’s and was restored for commercial use. One section of the building had a basement under it and another section had a crawl space.

4 Story Heavy Timber Warehouse Damaged By Fire

A fire heavily damaged the first floor and part of a second floor within a 4 story heavy timber building. The building owners decided to completely eliminate the first floor and raise the basement floor elevation so that it matched the first floor of an adjacent building. The result was a 3 story building with a much taller first floor with a concrete slab on grade. This was used to warehouse inventory much more efficiently.

The section of the second floor which was fire damaged was replaced with steel. The heavy timber floor joists were replaced with steel beams and the floor deck was replaced with concrete filled metal deck. This area was used for new offices.
