Description:
In the downtown area of Long Island City, New York lies a complex parking garage with an array of shoring materials. This 6-story concrete structure has an entry ramp and loading docks for large trucks, a cantilevered volume with red cladding, rooftop solar panels, and an open-air parking garage. In total this is a project that is about 352,000 square feet with the shortest floor being 22ft high and the tallest one being about 40ft high. ULMA is proud to be a part of this project, to provide the best possible solution for the complexity of supplying the right number of materials for the jobsite on time. By using our MEGAFRAME, MEGALITE, ENKOFLEX, ALUPROP SHORING TOWERS and RKS system we were able to assist in creating this high-level structure.
ULMA Solution:
28-90 Review Ave, a large complex parking lot that allows multiple vehicles of any kind to have the ability to park and store. We were able to use our MEGAFRAME system for the deck, a frame that connects to each other via cross braces which space the frames at set distances. Attached to the frame system was our ENKOFLEX under massive beams, an adaptable that provides great versatility. To support the high shoring levels of each floor we had to combine both systems to maximize the structures stability, alongside our ALUPROP SHORING TOWERS we were able to provide longer durability and easy to use height adjustments. For the core walls and columns, the MEGALITE system was utilized as it is versatile for both solutions. Given the ramp being constructed and various high levels of shoring system, it was the best option to supply as much shoring material as possible and in the time frame it was required. Throughout the project we introduced our RKS climbing system, that enables panel climbing without separating the structure from the wall
