Signed off for structural upgrade at dam site
Overview
- Multi-section steel deck assembly designed for a hydroelectric dam walkway replacement
- Engineering drawings interpreted and measurements adjusted to match site-specific constraints
- 4 independent frame subassemblies modeled, each with unique anchor alignments and bracing geometry
Engineering
- All frame sections designed in SolidWorks — structural bracing, fastener points, and anchor alignments fully resolved
- Full bill of materials generated with hardware sourced to spec
- Detailed manufacturing drawings created to minimize field fit-up time and installation errors
- Assembly validated across all 4 sections before package handoff
Outcome
- Fabrication-ready package delivered — reduced field fit-up time and installation errors
- Structural upgrades at the dam site successfully supported with engineered steel framing
- Zero design revisions required post-fabrication — drawings matched site dimensions on installation
