Copper roofing during an early summer heat wave is no small feat! Since 2017, SGH has provided roofing and waterproofing design consulting services and structural engineering services for this significant expansion and renovation: https://lnkd.in/gvDfmqfa SGH collaborated with Selldorf Architects, Beyer Blinder Belle, The Frick Collection, Sciame Construction, LLC, Nicholson & Gallowaynd KNS Building Restoration.

The Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority established the Water Reliability Plan to envision a series of capital projects to upgrade its aging infrastructure: https://lnkd.in/gTKaeriG As part of these upgrades, SGH designed the carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) system to renew Rising Main 4, which passes below an active railroad, a state highway, and the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium.

Concrete without rebar behaves like an old, dried-out rubber band with no ability to stretch without breaking. https://lnkd.in/giQYH8cD In this article, SGH’s Keith Palmer, PhD, SE, PE describes how older concrete buildings may break when subject to earthquake ground motions. It often boils down to the concrete not having enough rebar in the places where it’s needed. This is especially true for concrete buildings designed before the 1976 Uniform Building Code went into effect.
