Trinity Florida Roof Structure Reinforcement Engineering Completed

The Florida Retailer is adding new roof mounted equipment to enhance the customer's experience. Tim McCarthy P.E. was consulted because of his reputation nationwide for comprehensive and quick structural engineering services. "The structure is relatively straightforward," said Tim McCarthy P.E. It is a metal deck supported by steel joists. But there are a number of "tricks of the trade", shall we say, employed by various joist manufacturers. It is important to know the manufacturer as well as to obtain excellent field measurements."
The inspection and engineering has been complete. The structure will require relatively minor reinforcements at the one location where a completely new HVAC, as opposed to a replacement, is being installed. The work is expected to be completed by the middlie of March.
