HelioVolt
Austin, Texas

Texas Design Interests, LLC performed the structural design for this industrial finish-out project under an aggressive schedule while coordinating closely with the Owner, Architect, MEP Engineer, General Contractor, and Mechanical Subcontractor. The design involved analyzing the most appropriate use of the existing structure to accommodate substantial mechanical and manufacturing equipment loads. A mechanical mezzanine was designed for the back of the structure that utilized existing columns where possible and emphasized cost-effective constructability within an enclosed space. Concrete piers with extensions to a steel frame were designed on the exterior of the building for the support of two current cooling tower cells and one future, each cell weighing approximately 34,000 lbs. A 28 ft x 18 ft foundation pad was designed for the support of a 37 ft tall, 175,000 lb nitrogen tank.
