• Location: Rush St., Chicago
• Duration: April 2024 - May 2024
• Project Type: Structural Design
• Industry: Construction

This project showcased AggoPro's ability to tackle complex structural design challenges, particularly in integrating new structures with existing ones. Our approach combined innovative engineering solutions with a deep understanding of building code compliance, ensuring the pergola was both aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound.

Project Scope

The scope of the Rush St. pergola project encompassed the detailed design of beam-to-column connections and the framing design for fan support. Our team ensured that every aspect of the design adhered to the highest standards of structural integrity and load capacity, crucial for the safety and longevity of the structure.

Key Project Elements:

• Beam-to-Column Connections: Designed to ensure stability and durability under various load conditions.
• Opening Framing for Fan Support: Engineered to support additional weight without compromising the structure's integrity.
• Compliance with Building Codes: All designs were rigorously checked to meet localChicago building codes.
• Integration with Existing Structure: Careful planning ensured the new pergola complemented the existing architectural elements.

Project Requirements & Challenges

Industry-Specific Requirements

The project demanded a thorough understanding of civil engineering construction principles, especially in designing structures that withstand Chicago's variable weather conditions. Compliance with local building codes was non-negotiable, requiring meticulous attention to detail in every design aspect.

Challenges

One of the main challenges was ensuring the pergola's beam-to-column connections could bear the additional load from the fan support without altering the existing structure's aesthetics. This required innovative structural design solutions that balanced functionality with visual appeal.

Implementation Complexities

The project's complexity was heightened by the need to work within the tight urban environment of Rush St., requiring precise coordination to minimize disruption to the surrounding area.
