Allison - Ide Structural Engineers LLC designed a post tensioned flat plate floor system for this 350' tall residential condominium tower to allow for irregularly spaced columns. This simplified the forming, eliminiated costly transfer girders, and allowed the Architect to create large open spaces in the Lobby / Entrance and Recreation Rooms.

Allison - Ide Structural Engineers LLC recommended and designed a mat foundation for this project, utilizing high strength 75 ksi reinforcing steel. This recommendation resulted in substantial savings as compared to te alternative short pile foundation.

The concrete walls for this project were designed to be slipped formed in advance of the poured in place floors. This concept allowed an accelerated floor to floor construction cycle for this large floor plate (14,000 SF per floor).
