Bowstring Truss Reinforcement Proceeding On Schedule


The site is one of the eleven original buildings and one very large hangar constructed by Howard Hughes for his growing aviation enterprise during WW2. The buildings housed his operation when he moved from Glendale. The massive hangar has been utilized by the film industry for years for such features as Aviator and Titanic. This building, now unoccupied is being renovated.

Tim McCarthy P.E. developed the engineered reinforcement process for the reinforcement of the bowstring trusses on this project.

Kingston, NY, Roof Reinforcement Project Completed On Schedule

The retailer is installing a total 18 new HVAC units on the roof of this upstate New York location. "The amount of the roof reinforcement was rather extensive at this particular location," said Tim McCarthy P.E. "It is a somewhat older structure with a steel joist configuration that hasn't been used for quite some time in the US." Mr. McCarthy went on to explain that the top and bottom chords were a "hat shaped bent steel configuration" and the webs were a "split half pipe". The project, completed the night of October 14, took all five days as scheduled.
