PROJECT TEAM
Architect: DLR Group, Seattle
General Contractor: Skanska
Framing Contractor: Lotspeich Company Inc. (Miami)
Curved Framing: Radius Track Corporation
Radius Track precisely fabricated the framing sections around 16 photovoltaic skylight openings to meet specification and delivery requirements for the project. To be exact: 418 ten-foot lengths of G90 coated structural grade track and 246 ten-foot lengths of G90 coated structural grade angle. Each piece was pre-curved to one of eight different radii ranging in size from 6-foot 5-inches to 10-foot 9-inches.
Perfect Fit
“Radius Track can bend the heavy gauges in a way that they retain structural integrity,” says Scott Masson, president of Lotspeich Co. “Additionally, they provided a quick turn around and high quality product to help us meet the project schedule at a time when our labor resources were stretched thin.”
Prefabrication offers precision, collaboration, and efficiency benefits from design through installation. Each contractor will employ prefabricated products and design services to best fit their needs. The manufacturer can jump into action at the start with Design Assist, 3-D modeling, and engineering.
