General Contractor:<\/strong>  Clark Construction Group, LLC
Christman Mid-Atlantic Constructors\u2019 scope of work was to provide the piers, footings, foundations, and the concrete deck of the bridge itself. They began with the concrete footers. The footers had to be moved four times because of abandoned or active utilities underneath Wilson Boulevard. Each time the project team had to move the footers, Christman worked with Clark to recalculate and verify the bolt locations. The new bolt locations on the bridge would intersect with the steel mounting plate locations on the bridge package. Every steel mounting plate was located in a different place, with unique intersections and elevations with the bridge steel. Christman worked with Clark to confirm and recheck bolt packages more than 10 times for the bridge. During the bridge’s initial assembly offsite, Christman went to the assembly and proofed their work – they were accurate within 5\/8″, despite the settling of the bridge that was expected to happen during installation. Christman’s accuracy was essential to the successful installation of the bridge.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engineer:<\/strong>  Leslie E. Robinson Associates \/ Tadjer Cohen Edelson Associates
General Contractor:<\/strong>  Balfour Beatty
Miller & Long contribution to this project was the placement nearly 70,000 cubic yards of concrete and 10,000 tons of reinforcement steel in mass concrete foundations, large transfer girders and elevated decks, to create the large superstructure that spans three city blocks, five stories below grade known as Capital Crossing garage. Project challenges included the fact that the design of the structure was incomplete at the time of construction. Revisions to the contract documents were issued on a regular basis challenging the project team with coordination of a structure that was constantly changing while having to maintain schedule. The Capital Crossing Garage structure has a deeper foundation than the surrounding buildings, therefore the entire area drained into the excavation. Traditional dewatering measures did not work due to several clay layers in the earth. Workers would often encounter several feet of standing water in their work areas in the morning after a night of rain.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Capital One Center Garage Podium, Hotel and Corporate Events Center located on Capital One Tower Road is the second phase of Capital One’s Corporate Expansion. The project features many exceptional feats of craftsmanship starting with the magnitude of shear walls throughout the Garage, Podium and Hotel Tower. Level 3 is an 80,000 square foot Wegman’s grocery store that required approximately 25 feet tall framing above the floor below. The 11th floor Podium is a sky park which will be open to the public. The sky park floor was difficult framing due to the slab thicknesses, multiple top of slab elevations and tree pits and was also heavily reinforced. The Hotel Tower presented its’ challenge immediately with a huge portion of cantilevered slab requiring technical expertise from our in house Structural Engineer and substantial framing challenges for all our field personnel.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Architect:<\/strong>  Robert A.M. Stern Architects, LLP
General Contractor:<\/strong>  Balfour Beatty
This highly customized precast exterior consists of approximately 1,000 pieces of precast constructed from over 800 individual molds. The aggressive construction schedule resulted in many panels being shipped the day after fabrication was completed. Arban & Carosi did an excellent job in sequencing their fabrication and meeting the schedule. Erection of precast was completed mostly during the night shift as concrete on the upper floors was being completed during the day. The numerous exterior skin projections presented unique challenges to the erection team, but with their expertise, they provided solutions to all issues that arose. After erection was complete, Arban & Carosi provided skilled masons to perform quality control on the panels to ensure that the precast met the strict standards of the Architect and Owner.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

General Contractor:<\/strong>  The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company
The wood doors on this project are oversized, custom acoustic wood doors, with an average weight of almost 1,000 lbs. per door leaf which adds to the complexity of the installation. Prior to beginning fabrication on all of the custom wood doors for the REACH, ISEC furnished and installed one mock-up wood door over 6 months before they were scheduled to install the remaining doors on the job. The mock-up completed allowed the craftsman to determine the best methods of installation and allowed the architect to review and comment on the outcome of the work rather than waiting for a first-in-place review. In addition, this process aided in identifying quality standards and adjustments needed for adjacent finishes, such as the concrete door openings, in order to provide a seamless final product once the doors arrived onsite.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

General Contractor:<\/strong>  DAVIS Construction
The quality in both manufacturing and installation work of Ferguson Neudorf Glass (FNG) are evident from every angle at 655 New York Avenue. FNG was responsible for the exterior curtainwall, interior atrium curtainwall, skylight, metal panels, exterior sun shades, and glass doors. While the sheer quantity of work was daunting, FNG planned their deliveries effectively, staffed the job appropriately, and came up with creative solutions to keep their field teams efficient. FNG installed curtainwall directly adjacent, over top, and inside of many of the historic buildings on the site. Despite the close quarters imposed by the historic building, FNG was able to install all their glass without negatively impacting any of the historic buildings. Much of the material for the interior atrium curtainwall was delivered down through the skylight prior to closing it in. The delivery of this material was strictly coordinated between FNG and the tower crane operator. The glass enclosed stair that goes through the atrium was also installed using the tower crane.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power Solutions completed a tenant fit-out at the Host Hotels & Resorts headquarters in Bethesda, Maryland. The 4-floor build out was different from your typical office\/tenant fit-out in that the design team included high end finishes such as wood ceiling framing panels, stretched ceiling fabric, and pre-assembled glass walls. Lighting installations throughout the space were particularly challenging due to the complex layout requirements associated with these cutting-edge ceiling designs. Linear fixtures running through the wood panel ceiling were installed to appear as continuous runs even through the top lit glass walls. This required a high degree of precision. There was little room for error. Prior to installation, the fixtures and walls were laid out on the floor to ensure that all lengths and mitered angle cuts were exact.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The electrical installation on this project is more of an industrial installation than a normal commercial project using conduit and wire. The entire power distribution system was coordinated and put in a Revit model to verify constructability and clearances. More than 4,000 man hours were spent in the coordination process before any material was ordered or installed. All of the relevant layout points in the entire project, both inside the building and on the site, were laid out using a GPS locating system tied to the coordination drawings. Using the GPS layout equipment the accuracy of the field layout allowed us to install multiple underground conduits in walls and eliminate rework which would have damaged the polished concrete floor surfaces.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an exciting fast paced project where we installed a variety of Porcelain and Stone Tiles in a compact schedule. The most challenging area was the locker rooms in the basement. The floors were mud-set 12″ x 24″ porcelain tile. The wet walls were a lappato finish porcelain tile. The walls in and out of the showers were the most difficult. They had no horizontal joints from floor to ceiling. Cutting and installing the large panels in and out of light coves required a crew of 6 to carefully lift and place the panels (which weighed 120 lbs.) precisely in exact locations on the walls.

After nearly a year of attempts to produce the complex design, R. Bratti Associates worked with the Owner and Architect to look for alternate sources for the assembly. Ultimately, R. Bratti Associates ended up back in Italy through a specialty shop.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Name:<\/strong> Carnegie Library Apple Store,  Washington, DC
Architect:<\/strong>  Beyer Blinder Belle
The first task was to remove several layers of paint from the tile using environmental friendly stripping agents which would not harm the tile. Then all off the grout was painstakingly removed from in between each tile. Quickly we became aware that due to years of water intrusion from above the ceiling that the grout was the only thing holding some of the tiles in place, so we had to made nets to catch the tiles if they fell out so they wouldn’t hit the floor and break. Once all of the paint and grout was removed it became apparent that there was extensive damage to the tiles due to water intrusion over the years. The mold had really taken a toll on the original beauty of the ceiling. Approximately 100 tiles were missing, broken or had holes in them from previous construction. ATS Studios came up with a proprietary mix to make new tiles in molds casted by us in the field. The tiles didn’t need to be kiln fired. This saved an extraordinary amount of cost due to the number of tiles that needed to be replaced was much lower than the minimum order required from the only tile company in the world that makes these tiles.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

General Contractor:<\/strong>  Balfour Beatty
All materials represent an elite class of high-end 16″ x 24″ ceramic tile from different sources of materials coming from outside the United States. With over 67 different bathroom layouts, the ceramic tile installation presented many difficult challenges. One such challenge was with the consistency of the layout of ceramic tile joints so that the wall and floor joints would line up. Wall joints would not be noticeable since the pattern included wide tile cuts at both the ceiling and floor levels. The aggressive construction schedule also presented a unique challenge with the installation. Aris Tile did an excellent job in the performance and in quality control management to ensure that the tile installation met with the strict standards of the Architect and Owner; and without impacting Balfour Beatty’s schedule.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

General Contractor:<\/strong>  Clark Construction Group, LLC
The lobby is the first interior space encountered upon entering the National Museum of the United States Army. It serves as a grand welcoming space that honors the American solider, recognizes the donors that made the museum possible, and provides a record of every military campaign ever undertaken by the United States Army. The aesthetically awe-inspiring flooring consists of a 21-foot diameter terrazzo seal for the Department of the Army – United States of America inlaid in a white field of terrazzo. This seal contains six different terrazzo colors that were custom-made to match the official seal. A large complex seal is a very difficult feature to execute. David Allen used their years of technical experience to achieve an exceptional level of craftsmanship and achieve the necessary high aesthetic standards. All of this work was completed with a white field finish. This unforgiving finish would easily show any blemish or imperfection and could not be easily patched. All these factors taken together demanded the highest level of performance from David Allen.<\/em>

General Contractor:<\/strong>  DAVIS Construction
Drywall construction was incredibly important to this project, since the Sixth & I Synagogue hosts many large events, including musical events where sound quality is a crucial issue, and Bradleigh was impressive in their work. As part of this project, the AV of the space was scheduled to be upgraded-the architect brought out a sound engineer, and Bradleigh installed the BASWAphon product on the existing ceilings above the balcony level. This installation was challenging due to its dry time–BASWAphon is typically the last ceiling finish to be installed and holds multiple layers. At the time of installation, the AC was inoperable due to external construction equipment. The August humidity worked its hardest to slow the drying process, but Bradleigh overcame this obstacle to meet the Synagogue’s tight schedule. They also did all the plaster work and repairs to the space. Large sections of existing ceilings needed to be cut out for installation of sprinkler lines, electrical, and AV-completing this process and hiding the patchwork was a difficult task, but Bradleigh retextured the entire ceiling, all with pew benches sitting beneath the workers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Host Hotels Headquarters project was a four-floor new tenant interior project spanning over 60,000 square feet. The new space is showcased by a complex and sophisticated contemporary design that creates a flagship office space within Bethesda. The project is highlighted by its drywall package that is comprised of a number of custom materials and finishes. The design called for an extensive use of Decoustics ceiling systems with an intricate application integrating with a multitude of materials. This package also includes the use of custom wood Decoustics sourced from Canada. Lengthy lead-times for the custom grid, extrusions, and wood panels were over twelve-weeks of wait time for fabrication and the staggered delivery of the products required an installation in five phases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hayles and Howe were responsible for the majority of finishes on this project including decorative faux stone exterior paint and interior faux wood finishes, general painting, ashlar stucco restoration for the mansion, roughcast lime stucco at the South Slave Quarters and consolidation of interior lime plaster throughout the mansion. The faux Aquia sandstone paint finishes on the mansion exterior are particularly beautifully-executed by our artisan painters. To achieve a convincing stone finish in paint required moving our skilled painters from elevation to elevation and grouping the individuals painters in rotation so that no one area or elevation appears to repeat particular styles of veining.

ATS Studios was asked to perform a challenging task of restoration to historic plaster in a building still suffing from earthquake damage and make it meld into something moldern and pleasing to the eye. Our tasks included but were not limited to 3200 sq. ft. of plaster consolidation, 4000 sq. ft. of cove ceilings, soffits and bulkheads and custom sized decorative plaster scrolled arch and keystone detail above the doors. ATS also installed the custom quilt racks which were carefully engineered by the architect and coordinated with design suggestions by ATS to incorporate the racks into the new plaster ceiling. Once the room was demoed and ready for ATS to start it was apparent in the brick foundation that deep crack repairs needed to be made before the plaster repairs could start. ATS is all to familiar with masonry repairs as many of the projects we are on where the plaster is badly damaged or sagging in due in part to the failing masonry. So we worked closely with the GC and architect to agree on an execution of reinforcement and crack repair and move forward with the project at hand.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

C.J. Coakley, was instrumental in achieving the impressive finishes in this building by their execution of the acoustic plaster and curved walls\/ceilings. The intricate geometry of the ceiling and wall surfaces added to the difficult execution of this scope of work. The craftsmen had to use a combination of pre-manufactured curved studs and bending studs onsite to achieve the exact geometry and finish elevations as required in the contract documents. When the concrete substrate was not at the exact geometry, C.J. Coakley modified their framing to overcome the substrate inconsistencies, ensuring the plaster or drywall finished product met the design intent. Patching acoustical plaster is notoriously difficult to conceal, however C.J. Coakley flawlessly executed patches in the acoustic plaster resulting from minor damage by others. These patches are nearly invisible.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

General Contractor:<\/strong>  Clark Construction Group, LLC
The quality of craftsmanship is exceptional, which was necessary to meet the purpose of the space. To achieve this, Bradleigh had to coordinate their finishes with laylight glass, campaign streamer glass, fire sprinklers, light fixtures, diffusers, fire alarm devices, stone walls, and adjacent trades trim. To ensure brilliant execution and exceptional craftsmanship, Bradleigh built a full-scale mock up months before work started to assess all potential coordination issues. Bradleigh overcame a very difficult execution by coordinating and sharing equipment with other trades to access the varying levels of work. Bradleigh demonstrated technical excellence by assisting with identifying and resolving issues. For example, the thickness of the originally designed 1 9\/16″ thick BASWAphon soffits and walls was too great to work with glass and would not have aligned with the terrazzo base and stone cladding. Bradleigh developed a solution with the design team that switched portions of the ceilings and walls to a thinner 19mm \/ 25mm Star Silent while maintaining the acoustical design goals of the project.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rugo Stone installed wall stone throughout the new 12,000-SF lobby at 655 New York Avenue using imported stone from Canada and Italy. They also installed stone for two concierge desks, a hearth for the penthouse fireplace, and curved stone planter walls. While the design called for open joint stone in the lobby, due to limited availability of the preferred Italian stone thinner pieces (2cm) had to be used instead of the originally planned 3cm. Rugo assisted with a mock-up far in advance of installation determining that shims between pieces would be noticeable at open joints in the 2cm stone. Ultimately, the attachment method was revised for all of the Italian wall stone, requiring the hanging of each piece individually from the back to avoid shims between the pieces.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mechanical system for the National Museum of the United States Army is actually two individual mechanical systems that feed the Exhibit Hall and remaining museum spaces separately. Southland Industries’ scope of work for HVAC piping included running all of the hot and chilled water to all pieces of equipment. As the museum has two individual mechanical systems, Southland was required to do twice the amount of work in one footprint. Due to the 30-foot ceilings in the Exhibit Hall and 20-foot ceilings in the entrance lobby, Southland created a secondary means to provide comfort to museum patrons since forced air from overhead was difficult to reach the lower half of those spaces. Southland Industries ran approximately 21 miles of radiant PEX piping within the Exhibit Hall and entrance lobby slabs on grade. To achieve this, Southland and other trades created a slab on grade mock-up to understand the time requirements and sequencing.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, ADJ used a cavity 4 1\/2\u201d wide within a load-bearing wall to transition between floors and around a steel beam to service a supply air diffuser serving as a critical architectural element. ADJ had to resize the ductwork down to 48 x 4 and run it at a 45-degree angle between beam and wall and make the piece long enough to make the connections before the beam and wall. At Carnegie, ADJ\u2019s team also installed underground ductwork throughout the basement to serve as the main distribution from the sub-basement mechanical room to the wings of the building.

The work consisted of a new a fire sprinkler, new generator, new finishes and lighting in the sanctuary as well as some new upgrades to the administration building. This historic building (built in 1908) never had a sprinkler installed, and the wood structure was not built with the infrastructure and space a sprinkler system usually requires. They met these challenges head-on, doing the complete sprinkler design from the very beginning, and reviewing existing conditions and codes to design the right type of pump system. Some areas throughout the building had both dry and wet systems installed, adding further complications, and these extended review processes were time-consuming. However, Northstar Fire Protection worked tirelessly to meet the tight schedule. Additionally, as part of this installation, a new water service was required, which took time and planning with DC Water.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Museum of the United States Army features over 3,000 metal panels, accounting for over one million pounds of stainless steel. Aside from the magnitude and the aesthetic of these beautiful panels, the coordination efforts that Tecta undertook to complete installation makes them truly exceptional. The panels range in sizes, with the largest being 3′ x 20′ tall. The metal panels act as a rain screen installed on adjustable I-angles to ensure the panels met required flatness criteria. Due to the connection clips between panels, only horizontal runs of panels could be installed at one time, with Tecta moving up to the next rows for the various building elevations.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The complex design required the installation of a new stair to service the space. Fabrication was especially challenging due to the stringer profile being continuously welded with built up steel plates. Installation was a challenge in regards to erecting temporary shoring as the work had to be performed off of tall lifts to set the mid landings of the stair so high off of the slab. The design required wet poured glass which is especially challenging in place along a slope. The sequencing of the installation was critical due to the requirement to access areas utilizing lifts for the bondo work under the stair before welding in treads. All of the stainless steel #8 handrail brackets had to be customized and needed a significant amount of time and coordination with other materials to weld and polish each brackets by hand.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The steel throughout the space has a consistent and aesthetically pleasing blackened finish, which was extremely difficult to achieve, especially at field welded connections. Emerald Ironworks\u2019 proprietary steel finishing process provides consistent texture and color to make those connections appear seamless without needing paint or any other coating. EIW\u2019s finish was key in their selection for the project and their ability to collaborate on even the most minute details set them apart from other subcontractors. The ornamental metals in this space are heavy steel plate, bar stock, and tube steel. Given the mass and weight of the steel, handling these materials was a daunting and arduous process\u2014however, EIW worked carefully and meticulously to create the \u201cpolished industrial\u201d aesthetic found throughout the space. This was especially evident when constructing the hanging steel feature on the 4th floor\u2019s lunchroom, which was designed to appear floating!

The top of the tapestry is supported and framed by an architecturally exposed structural steel box beam that was fabricated and installed by the Crystal Steel Fabricators team. This beam spans the full tapestry. Fabricated in five sections, each just less than 87′ long and weighing about 56,000 pounds, the design called for exacting chamber requirements of 1\/4″. The Crystal Steel Fabricators fabrication team performed this exactly; adding 1\/4″ chambers into each of the nearly 90′ built-up stainless steel beam sections. To anchor the 12 cables that span the system are 72 stainless steel “saddles”, each required to be set in an exact three-dimensional location. This was executed flawlessly by the Crystal Steel Fabricators team. Finally, the bottom of the support system consists of a suspended stainless steel light trough that will house 176 LED light fixtures to illuminate the tapestry at night. This, too, was fabricated and installed by the Crystal Steel Fabricators team<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technical complexities and unique nature of the structural steel pedestrian bridge at Northwest DC\u2019s Capital Crossing development is like no other. Although the overall look of the structure is impressive, the design, fabrication, and installation of this bridge is what sets it apart. The more than 49,000-pound structure took over a year to finalize the design and coordinate the integrated curtainwall fa\u00e7ade and electrochromic glass roof structure. Multiple design charates were held to ensure all of these intersecting trade details worked seamlessly. Once coordination was complete, fabrication of the structure could begin. The design specification required all structural members of the bridge be constructed to an AESS Level 4 architecturally metal standard. These standards require a significantly higher level of effort to be poured into the welding, grinding, and ultimate handling of the steel members. This standard forces the massive steel components to be treated as though they are ornamental metal<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emerald Ironworks finish was key in their selection for the project, as a very specific \u201cpolished industrial\u201d look was intended for the space. All steel throughout the space has a consistent blackened finish\u2014a difficult finish to achieve at field welded connections. Delivering materials proved tough as well, given the below tenant\u2019s location, and they were forced to install the 2nd floor stairs during off-hours. This installation included additional challenges, as the railing post was sandwiched by inner and outer stringer posts. These posts had to be put together separately and aligned perfectly for the proper bolt installation. Additionally, large slab edge steel channels and plates had to be rigged so that all mitered corners could be seamlessly finished, and the welding and finishing of the joints had to be done perfectly, with no traces left behind<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prominent steel features in Area 1 are the large roof trusses and monumental stair Q. Each roof truss was shipped broken down in three shop built pieces, field assembled and hoisted into place as one piece. Area 2 is the most traditional steel framed area of the entire building, but because it was the first area which we erected, it highlighted some of the challenges which we would face throughout the duration of the project. The most noticeable steel feature of Area 3 is the grand monumental stair. Other unique features of area 3 are the roof trusses and balconies which cantilever from the concrete shear wall and are hung from the roof trusses above. Area 4 is the stage area of the building. Very densely packed into a smaller square footage, Area 4 had some of the more complicated fabrication in the project including the raker trusses and balcony framing, catwalks and rigging steel and more roof trusses. The steel in this area also interacted with specialized acoustical pads to help separate the theater steel from the rest of the structure.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scope to lower the existing building foundations involves a 27-step foundation lowering process involving six separate subcontractors, three individual Design Engineers of Record, and several rounds of milestone inspections by all parties. The lowering of the 96 existing columns was broken down into the 13 sequences. Due to structural limitations only certain combinations of sequences could be executed concurrently to maintain structural stability of the building during the lowering process. Due to the complexity of work and numerous areas of work taking place simultaneously the team created a Sequence Matrix, a Sequence of Work and Responsibility Document, and a Foundation Lowering Quality Control Log to manage the flow of work in a safe and efficient manner. The team members knew it was critical that the building facade stay intact not only as a safety and structural concern, but to preserve the facade so that the existing masonry appeared untouched.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality Pipe Cleaning’s excavation efforts began with the development of a confined-space safety plan. Then, the hydro-excavation hoses were set up below the active emergency department. These hoses ran adjacent to active conference rooms on racks mounted from the ceiling. Quality Pipe Cleaning’s team loosened the soil with pressurized water hoses so that it could be collected by a vacuum hose. For rocks too large for the vacuum, the team broke down the larger rocks and transported them out of the excavation area via the hospital’s loading dock. Quality Pipe Cleaning was an extremely cooperative partner in the effort to execute a somewhat non-conventional approach to excavation in healthcare construction, which resulted in schedule savings.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exciting and unique project is broken into two phases – Phase 1 and Phase 2. The first phase of the project includes lowering the foundation of the historic Fannie Mae building (currently building A on the project) to increase ceiling height and allow for a new Wegman’s Food Market underneath. Wegmans will anchor the mixed-use site behind Building A leaving the existing Building A to remain similar in appearance from Wisconsin Ave NW. The existing building has a center wing that was built in 1956 on pile cap foundations, and two side wings that were added in 1962 on caisson foundations.

Celtic Demolition successfully demolished the existing 12-story office building in downtown Washington, DC using remote controlled Brokk demolition robots over the course of six months in 2018. This demolition occurred less than 10 feet from the building to the west and six inches from the building to the south. The north and east sides of the structure were less than 15 feet from active downtown roadways. The project grew more complex as the demolition progressed through the existing garage slabs. Removing too much of the slab could have resulted in a catastrophic structural failure of the existing foundation wall supporting adjacent buildings. Despite this potential hazard, Celtic brilliantly executed a complicated sequence of their work activities to prevent downtime for their employees while Clark Foundations installed structural support – often feet from Celtic’s employees.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anchor was called to an emergency flooding of a culvert, located in a downward walk of a 45degree angle off of the 44th St NW area. Crews worked around the clock, filling sand bags and lowering them with a conveyor belt system to make the area below safe for access, and built a 100 foot step system to get down to the project, while be tied off to a guardrail system for security purposes. Inside the culvert it was discovered that the roof of the culvert had approximately a 130 ft. long crack down the center and was compromised. This culvert was holding up a historical rock bridge system that was underneath 44th street in NPS area. Leading from one side of 44th to the other side of 44th down to continue into NPS area. The ceiling of the culvert was repaired using rebar, shotcrete, and other products to stabilize it. It was then noticed that the sides of the culvert had structural damage as well and they were shotcreted along with rebar reinforced. New foundations were poured for the edges of the bridge to stabilize it since there were numerous stones missing, and a shift of over 4″ away from the foundation wall.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The revitalized Annapolis Post Office rooftop is clad with a combination of a slate roof and TPO membrane, which supports a copper-domed wood cupola adorned with a historic wood weathervane, trim, swags and windows. A combination of copper and aluminum skirts and flashing details trim the roofline with snow guards and copper grates dotting the edges. Wagner reviewed the original construction methods and determined the copper wedge angles could be used to create a template for the new copper dome, which would match the dimensions and seams of the original. In addition to the craftsmanship required to match the angle and seams of the original copper, Wagner\u2019s team needed to pre-bend the wedges to match the curve of the dome, resulting in a smooth copper surface area. Had this approach been executed in any other way, hammer marks from the in-place bends and seam edges would have been visible and the copper dome would have appeared damaged. Access to the roof work was challenging and constrained, with the full building encased in scaffolding for the fa\u00e7ade restoration work. The work areas were accessed at the northwest fa\u00e7ade scaffolding via a series of ladders and staging platforms. Once on the roof, the surface area was sectioned into work zones and access points to accommodate the staging.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This object was suspended from structural steel that was located beneath the third-floor structure in one of the second-floor galleries. Prior to this artifact being lowered there were 209 other artifacts within this same gallery that had to be disassembled, packaged and shipped of site to a NASM facility. After the 209 artifacts were removed, we also had to strategically remove existing exhibit cases, ceilings and walls that were within inches of the suspended Skylab. The planning of the rigging took 7 months to plan and 3 days to execute on site. We had to bring in a specialty stand that is known as a tipping fixture similar to what NASA would have used and attach it to the bottom of the artifact all while both the artifact and tipping fixture were being suspended.<\/em>

Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM) had a nuanced and technically demanding design for the architectural millwork at the National Museum of the United States Army. At the entrance to the lobby is the Information Desk, which ISEC installed. The Information Desk is approximately 14′ x 17′ and serves as the central interface with museum patrons. The Information Desk is clad with stainless steel, with #6 long grain polish to match the exterior facade. Over 25 conduit stub ups were required to provide audiovisual, power, telecom, and security services to the different work stations and exhibit features. lSEC coordinated the location of conduits and provided pathways throughout the desk for all systems. Surrounding the lobby are three pavilions and the Exhibit Hall. Each space is connected by thresholds. Part of SOM’s design was creating beautiful millwork clad thresholds that signify the transition from one space to another. Initially, there were plans to construct the millwork fins out of aluminum extrusions clad in wood veneer. However, ISEC identified several technical challenges that ultimately led the team to embrace wood veneer supported by steel trusses.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1st floor reception feature wall ceiling is comprised of an array of differently dimensioned wood veneer panels that vary in and out of plane creating a 3-dimensional feature. Each panel is supported by corresponding blocking\/framing cut to the same angle and plane. Creating the computer model of this element was a careful process to ensure the angles at which the panels intersect met smoothly. The light fixture that hangs from the feature ceiling was installed in coordination with the millworker as each cluster met the panels at a different height above floor. Typical floors millwork ceilings were drawn in AutoCAD, with “stencils” cut out for the entire plan of the ceiling. These stencils were cut and measured based off of field measurements, and then laid out on the floor. These wooden stencils served as an installation road map for the millwork crew as it laid out where each specific element of the ceiling is to go.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, located on the main floor, the eight foot high curved die wall, that is wrapped with blue Spinneybeck leather, pairs nicely with the adjacent business library that is made up of quartered walnut veneer. The bookcases in that library proved to be one of the biggest challenges of this project. Special attention to details was the key to getting every dimension down to their precise measurements. Each shelving was individually measured out at different depths, widths and heights and then carefully aligned with the walnut veneer face frame to ensure perfect unity throughout the casework.

The McKinsey project walls are wrapped with panels or cabinetry, and almost the entire ceiling has panels.

The wall panels travel across the project, starting in the 10th floor lobby and moving up the stairs to the 11th floor plaza where they end wrapped around a countertop. The paneling and different elevations were difficult to lay out and line up in with one another. A great deal of engineering and drafting time was used to carefully line up with all millwork as well as other trades such as sprinklers, and lighting. In addition to the paneling, we worked around a double sided fireplace near the pantry. One side called for incorporated paneling while on the other we engineered and installed a flip-down Batista countertop into the wall panels.

The millwork subcontractor on this building deserves particular praise for their quality, commitment to meeting schedule milestones, and attention to detail demanded by an exacting client. The project has a multitude of materials, techniques, and styles. Jointing and transition details are varied and prevalent through this space. The volume of work was significant, and many areas were so expansive that work was performed 30′ off the ground. Working at such heights can be logistically challenging and requires consideration in the schedule. Lifts and scaffolding were employed to facilitate the flow of materials to workers. The height also required a high level of attention to safety; for example, it was essential that workers were tied off and following appropriate protocols. More than 30 millworkers were on-site at various points of the project with large crews for extended periods.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Name:<\/strong> Arlington House, The Robert E. Lee Memorial Preservation,  Arlington, VA
Architect:<\/strong>  GWWO Architects
General Contractor:<\/strong>  W. M. Schlosser Company
The work on the windows, shutters and doors at the Arlington house was conducted in a manner that is rarely seen in typical construction projects. Prior to any work taking place each window\/ shutter and door was surveyed, catalogued and numbered. Off-site restoration of windows included the removal of all glazing compound and paint from the sash, salvage of historic glass. Repairs to the wood ranged from epoxy\/consolidant applications, dutchman replacement, and whole component replacement. Restoration of shutter and doors included removal of paint, epoxy\/consolidant repairs and dutchman repairs. Transparent finished doors were touched up or refinished using a traditional tung oil system. New fabrication of windows in the north slave quarters and museum building was done to replicate historic profiles and dimensions. New doors at the slave quarters and mansion conservatory were fabricated to match historic profiles.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Architect:<\/strong>  Robert A.M. Stern Architects, LLP
General Contractor:<\/strong>  Balfour Beatty
The first thing you will notice when walking in the main entry is the six fluted European Oak columns. They are 32\u201d in diameter and over 13-feet tall. These are column covers, therefore they had to be split and re-glued. The final cutting of the split columns had to be performed in the field. Once the columns were cut in half they needed to be wrapped around the steel beam and quickly glued back together to prevent movement and misalignment. The 373-unit entries were designed to install quickly in two phases. The first phase was installed after prime paint and included wood blocking and clips. The second phase consisted of installing the finish panels on the clips after the carpet and other finishes were complete. Installing the finish panels after the flooring and other finishes minimized the repair and touch-up work required on the panels.<\/em>

Project Name:<\/strong> West Half,  Washington, DC
Interior Design Architect:<\/strong>  ODA
Interior Architect:<\/strong>  V Starr Interiors
General Contractor:<\/strong>  HITT Contracting
Potomac Architectural Millwork furnished and installed the millwork at the WH2 lobby, WH3 lobby, and the WH3 penthouse lounge. All three areas required a great amount of coordination, craftsmanship, and ingenuity due to the unique designs proposed by the architects. Upon entering the WH2 lobby, one’s attention is immediately drawn to the multi-dimensional silkscreen feature wall. The silkscreen dot pattern was carefully coordinated with the layout of individual MDF panels, as well as the projecting light boxes along the wall. In addition to the feature wall, Potomac provided the millwork at the lobby desk, which includes the hammered copper that surrounds the lobby desk planter. The WH3 lobby contains a unique, curved marble saw tooth feature wall that separates the concierge area from the mailroom, as well as walnut wall panels lining the concierge area extending all the way to the elevator lobby and restroom, and a millwork desk\u2014all furnished and installed by Potomac.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Name:<\/strong> Host Hotels and Resort HQ,  Bethesda, MD
Architect:<\/strong>  Gensler
Engineer:<\/strong>  KTA Group
General Contractor:<\/strong>  rand* construction corporation
This project consists of the blend of twenty-six different millwork materials with a multitude being fabricated and installed at random angles. The matching of the Santos Rosewood Veneer panels with horizontal grain that flows from room to room required special care and coordination with regard to layout, establishing of benchmarks that run through partitions and floors, and the means and methods of installation. The fabricating and installing the slat panels with full width slats only in each elevation was also another unique challenge present on this project. The subcontractor\u2019s finishing department was challenged to keep consistent a natural wood veneer in color and pattern with compound miters even as it runs from room to room or the finishing of solid wood and veneer in the same elevation while keeping the characteristics of solid oak, the grain and the open pours.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Name:<\/strong> Akin Gump,  Washington, DC
Architect:<\/strong>  Gensler
General Contractor:<\/strong>  rand* construction corporation
The extensive use of custom materials and detailed design for precise alignments made almost every work scope installation a collaborative process due to joint and equipment placements affecting the alignments of other scopes. Basic changes in the field, such as a header moving a couple inches, required coordination meetings with all critical subcontractors to ensure material fabrication and installation conformed to the new benchmarks. Along with a streamlined communication approach, the use of the preconstruction period for developing full scale mock-ups for major design elements, the private offices acting as a prime example, proved to be critical for operational success. This allowed all major trades to develop an efficiency prior to mobilization to help quicken the pace of construction. The new Akin space is a model to the advantages of a collaborative approach.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
