Watch the Build! Or rather, watch the 'removal' of one of the massive bronze doors at the State Capitol recently. In 5 minutes-you can see how our extensive removal planning process provides a safe take down of these beautiful, but extremely heavy doors for their upcoming restoration. We were the only General Contractors willing to take on this intimidating and herculean project, but Prost Builders has three quarters of a century of experience in problem-solving any issues that come up. As one of the largest Design-Build companies in Missouri-we're also the 'go-to' historic property restoration experts focused on preserving our Missouri history and building quality construction that lasts for our satisfied clients since 1949. #prostbuilders #proconstructionsdve #nawic #wic #mostatecapitol #wearejcmo #jcmo #historicrestoration #historicpreservation #construction #bronzedoors #designbuild #designbuildfirm #presidentvaughnprost #qualityconstructioncompany #constructionlife #como #columbiamo #generalcontractors

Good initial protection concepts to be considered nowadays. Read through Ian Firth's recommendations

interesting points... “It is almost impossible to design a bridge pier to withstand this kind of impact. Therefore, we tend to design impact protection measures to prevent it from happening instead." “Dolphins or other vessel impact protection devices in the water are commonplace since the Sunshine Skyway collapse in 1980. But this bridge was built in the 1970’s, so the design would not have incorporated these devices at that time. The fact that a vessel can veer off course and hit the pier is the reason to design vessel impact protection systems so that a large vessel cannot hit the critical bridge support."

📢 Get ready for some fantastic updates! First-quarter Checkoff assessments are in with record-breaking CMU sales. We also had an amazing Masonry Day at Minnetonka Momentum, and don't forget to save the date for upcoming events! 🏗️💪 https://lnkd.in/gZhH-JkB #MCMCA #Concrete #Masonry #Construction #BuildingMaterials #ConstructionIndustry #Newsletter

PUSHING THE ENVELOPE I would like to pile on the congratulations to the project team, but with a Building Science twist: Not only did they receive the 2024 MCA Choice Award, they also achieved a Whole Building Air Tightness test result of 0.015CFM50/SF!!! For a point of reference, the Phuis airtightness requirement is 0.060 CFM50/SF. - 285,000 square feet building footprint - 423,000 square feet exterior enclosure surface area If you want the equivalent value at 75pascals, the power law conversion would be 0.019CFM75/SF. If you’re stuck in your ways and want to turn this into a less sensible metric, the average building height of 34 feet would give you 0.04ACH50 Multipoint table and chart in the comments below.
