Description: Met-Con was awarded
the contract to provide all structural and miscellaneous steel for this
project—the largest parking structure in North America. Capable of a
capacity of 19,000 vehicles, Universal Studios' parking structures are
mainly constructed of a precast beam and girder system. However, the
attached structures are mainly of structural steel construction. The
attached structures include two beam-and-column promenade areas that
house the moving walkway systems located at the front of each garage.
These systems are covered with 56 rolled pipe trusses at each walkway.
The walkways then lead you to two 250-foot long bridges where the floor
system is constructed of 5-foot deep wide-flange trusses and the roof
trusses of 4-foot deep, 12-inch-diameter longitude pipe trusses. Each
bridge also contains 22 rolled pipe trusses that cover the walkways.
These walkways lead to a central hub structure constructed of a
continuous rolled ring beam assembly that supports a bar joist-and-beam
roof system. The hub assembly exits to a single 500-foot long structural
steel bridge that supports the moving walkway system to the park
entrance. This bridge is supported by wide-flange steel trusses and is
covered with 5-inch rolled pipe trusses. This project utilized over
7,500 tons of structural steel. |
