This 26-story, 320,000 SF mixed-use development includes student housing and retail space. BASE performed a comparative analysis and value engineering study of the typical parking and residential floors and proposed several ways to simplify the post-tensioning (PT), including reducing the number of full length tendons and providing additional dead-end tendons only where required by analysis. … Read More

BASE performed value engineering of 209,000 SF of new structural steel floor construction of a five-story podium structure wrapping around the existing Willis Tower. The new space includes tenant amenities and more than 300,000 SF of new retail, dining, and entertainment space. Our scope included review of alternate floor framing to maximize repetition of members,… Read More

This 2.25 million SF mixed-use development is situated on a seven-acre parcel along Ponce de Leon Boulevard in Coral Gables, FL. BASE performed value engineering of the post-tensioned slabs and five sets of unique steel transfer trusses on the third level, spanning approximately 66 feet and 75 feet over a city-mandated easement. By optimizing rebar… Read More

BASE was originally engaged to only provide a value engineering evaluation of the structural design for the contractor, but based on realized cost savings of several million dollars the State of Hawaii allowed BASE to take over as the structural engineer of record. This project is a four-level, 1.85 million SF facility that consolidates more… Read More

Situated on the coast of the Arabian Sea and adjacent to the Mangalvanam Bird Sanctuary, TRITVAM is a luxury residential development in India. The project consists of three- and four-bedroom units spread across five towers and a signature Iconic Tower, all 23 stories in height, with a total area for the entire development of approximately… Read More

Structural design for a four-story, 23,000 SF transit-oriented development with rich character, constructed using a structural steel podium at the 2nd level that supports three levels of residential units framed with wood construction. There are 18 units on three floors with the first floor providing space for parking, mechanical/electrical rooms and approximately 2,800 SF of… Read More
