Schuff Steel

A few of our team members attended the awards ceremony to receive Engineering News-Record’s Northern California Project of the Year Award for Best Office/ Retail/ Mixed-Use project for 200 Park. 200 Park is California’s first #SpeedCore building and the second overall commercial building to use this innovative structural composite steel lateral system. The SpeedCore design utilizes prefabricated structural steel panels which are erected in a Lego-style manner and then filled with a high strength concrete grout. This method of construction accelerates construction schedules while maintaining the strength and structural integrity of the building. Schuff fabricated and erected over 10,000 tons of steel on this project, of which approximately 40% was just in the SpeedCore.  Immediately upon project award, Schuff Steel’s project team because working closely with the MKA and Gensler design teams to refine key features of the SpeedCore including connection details, mechanical penetrations and opening thru core as well as overall constructability. The project team also created a full- scale mockup which simulated a partial section of the core, further enabling the project stakeholders at Level 10, Schuff, and the Concrete Trade Partner to proceed with confidence on the full scale construction. The largest of the single SpeedCore prefabricated modules weighed over 17.5 tons and was nearly 38’ long x 14’ wide x 42” thick!

With the crisp autumn air upon us, we’re missing those laid-back summer vibes, so we thought we’d do a #TBT post to July when we had the privilege of enjoying a beautiful trip to Alaska with our buddies at McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. at the Waterfall Resort. Our own Jim Lockhart caught Waterfall Resort’s biggest King Salmon of the season – and the largest in the last decade – weighing in at 59.5 lbs! #steelconstruction #steelindustry #clientrelationships #relationshipbuilding

Check out the September issue of STRUCTURE Magazine featuring an article on the structure and framing of the Intuit Dome. Here’s a sneak peek: 🔹 The diagrid shell structure utilizes circular hollow structural steel members to support the building enclosure membranes.   🔹 The toggle braces that attach the diagrid framing back to the structure can rotate bi-directionally which allows the shell to move freely in the case of a seismic event.   🔹 The arena steel superstructure utilizes a buckling-restrained brace lateral system at the occupied floors above grade. 🔹 The halo scoreboard support consists of vertical and horizontal trusses curved in plan to accommodate the multiple segmented radii.

Having performed the fabrication and erection of Phase 2 about 15 years ago, we’re happy to be invited back to construct Phase 4 of the Graton Resort & Casino located in the Bay Area. Beginning with a new parking structure followed by an additional hotel wing and expanded casino floor, Schuff will fabricate and erect 2,394 tons of structural steel for the expansion.   Owner: Graton Economic Development Authority - Indians of Graton Rancheria (Tribe) General Contractor: SMC Construction Architect: Bergman Walls & Associates Structural Engineer: John A.

Today we are highlighting Julie Bavaro, Senior Project Coordinator with our Stockton group. With 26 years of experience in the industry, Julie has dedicated 15 of those years to Schuff and boy, are we grateful! In her role, Julie not only supervises but also trains and mentors the Project Coordination group in Stockton, with a keen focus on enhancing training programs and refining procedures for the division. She finds immense satisfaction in collaborating with various departments, subcontractors and clients, enjoying the relationship-building that this multifaceted interaction fosters. Julie’s enthusiasm for her job is palpable; she eagerly anticipates each workday, energized by the diversity, respect, experience and unique skills that her team members bring to the table. Every day introduces new projects and unique challenges, and Julie thrives in this dynamic environment. She takes immense pride in having contributed to intricate projects like AC2, Facebook MPK21, Google Caribbean, and the second SpeedCore project in the United States, 200 Park. For those just starting out in the industry, Julie says: ‘Learn from everyone, keeping an open mind while also remaining agile since things in this industry change constantly. Pay extra respect to those who work in the shop and field fabricating and erecting- always keep them in mind because all our decisions affect their safety, productivity and ability to be successful!’ Well said, Julie! Fun fact about Julie: She originally wanted to be an architect but instead opted to start her career in structural steel detailing and became ‘hooked on steel.’ She took her love of drawing and applied it to the drafting board. Although drafting is a lost art, she is grateful for that training and how it has helped further her understanding of the structural steel industry. We are thankful for Julie and her dedication to excellence on behalf of Schuff Steel! Give Julie a shout out in the comments to show your appreciation. Ready to start your story at Schuff?

Schuff and the entire project team achieved a major milestone at the historic Hangar 1 at Moffett Field: ONE MILLION safe working hours across all trades. This includes over 100,000 Schuff field hours safely completed on site by the Union Ironworkers from Locals 377 & 378. Recently, we topped out our restorative work on the project, which features 160 tons of new steel to reinforce the structure while preserving as much of the original historical frame as possible. In addition to the new retrofit, there were also approximately 12,000 hot driven rivets that had to carefully be removed to allow for modern high strength fasteners to be installed.   Hangar 1 was constructed by the United States Navy as a home for the USS Macon, a massive dirigible which was nearly as large as the world-famous Hindenburg.  Commissioned in 1933, The Macron served a short life as a flying aircraft carrier patrolling and protecting the skies off the California coast, before being lost during a bad storm in 1935. This nearly 90-year-old iconic Silicon Valley structure, which has been designated as both a Naval Historical Monument and a California Historic Civil Engineering Landmark, is being restored under the leadership of Google’s Planetary Ventures unit.   Owner: Google General Contractor: McCarthy Building Companies, Inc.
