Shoring and Formwork on a Cantilevered Balcony Deck

March 29, 20170

Check out the shoring and forming of the cantilevered balcony decks at our 8th & Spring Street Project in downtown Los Angeles! We utilized a Peri Beam-Deck Table System to move the shoring from one level to the next more efficiently and also support the cantilevered slab load without installing shoring all the way to the ground. Although the deck immediately below the cantilever is several feet in from its slab edge, our in-house Engineering Department was able to design the re-shoring system which allowed the loads that are coming down from deck table’s outside legs to be transferred and distributed into to the poured decks below without causing problems to the structure.

Creekside Parking Structure Near Completion

March 14, 20170

Just a couple miles east of our Northern California office, Largo recently completed the Creekside Parking Structure with South Bay Construction. Designed by Arc Tec, Inc. and Structural Engineers, Inc., the 8.5 level parking building will house 828 stalls across 277,832gsf. The structure will serve a new commercial office building and the existing Courtyard by Marriott, a cast-in-place, mid-rise building which Largo also constructed back in 2011. The south elevation is enclosed with CMU block and shotcrete was utilized for interior walls and parapets.

USC Michelson Center for Convergent Biosciences

March 1, 20170

Largo recently completed the 225,000gsf Michelson Center for Convergent BioSciences at the University of Southern California. The facility will be home to an interdisciplinary team of researchers from the Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences with the Viterbi School of Engineering. The building features one basement level and four levels above grade and will house high-tech medical equipment including a nano-fabrication facility and an electron microscope. The exterior of the building features two story tall concrete arches at both entrances and exposed, board-form architectural concrete finish on the interior face of the perimeter walls. Designed by HOK  with John A. Martin & Associates as the structural engineer, Largo worked with general contractor DPR Construction to deliver this project on-time and under budget.
