Structural Steel Installation St. Louis, Missouri
ACME Erectors served as a subcontractor to
McGrath and Associates for the installation of structural
steel to support a new Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI,
unit on the third floor of the existing Shoenberg Pavilion.
The work was necessary because the new MRI units were extremely
heavy, which required that the existing concrete framed
building
be reinforced in order to accommodate the medical equipment.
ACME Erectors was selected to install the steel members
to
allow for the installation.
The scope of ACME’s work involved installing thirty-six
steel beams, weighing an average of one ton each. Initially,
ACME attached plates and angles to the existing concrete framing
to serve as connections for the steel support beams. The beams
were then hoisted through window openings and moved into position
on the floor, below their final locations. They were then
raised safely into position and welded or bolted in place.
All work inside of the building was accomplished using only
hand operated tools.In 2002, this project received a “Keystone
Award” from the Associated General Contractors of Missouri,
recognizing the work for outstanding achievement.
