Gladstone Public Works

The ribbon has been cut! We just don’t have any photos since our last site visit 😉

The City of Gladstone recently opened its doors to a new Public Works Facility, and we are excited to see the lasting positive influence this project will have on the city and its residents.

The Gladstone Public Works remodel consisted of the evaluation of an existing single-story steel frame building for current code prescribed gravity and lateral loads. Improvements to the building included new wall girts on all sides of the building to allow new wall openings, strengthening of the existing roof purlins and steel frames to support current snow load requirements and to reduce thrust at the existing column anchor bolts. Frame strengthening included new interior columns with deep foundations and grade beams to reduce steel framed reactions and stresses. Braced bays were relocated where necessary to avoid new wall openings. A new entry vestibule was added to the south end of the existing building. The interior architectural remodel included removal of the existing mezzanine and new interior walls through-out and a small mechanical mezzanine. 

We are grateful once again to work with an incredible project team! Scott Edwards Architecture and P&C Construction
