Tryba Architects’ Post

Salesforce Tower Chicago by Pelli Clarke & Partners Pelli Clarke & Partners has completed the 57-storey Salesforce Tower along the Chicago River. This concrete core and steel structure is 852-foot-tall (259 metres) with 1.2 million-square-foot of office space. It joins two residential towers and 2.3 acres of public park space across the 4-acre Wolf Point development. The curtain walls combine glass and metal to balance a feeling of solidity and transparency. Salesforce Tower Chicago is the first building in Chicago to require and measure Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) to quantify embodied carbon emissions of concrete, steel and other various construction materials. This led to a 27% reduction in the production of concrete used and a 9% reduction in steel used resulting in a 19% overall reduction in carbon emissions for steel and concrete in comparison to the industry average.

Our more than two decades of structural engineering experience are being harnessed to deliver world-class infrastructure, buildings and residences.   Over the years, we have designed and overseen the construction of many remarkable structures, while exploiting the inherent benefits of a broad range of construction materials.   These include conventional reinforced and precast, prestressed concrete and a combination thereof. Then there are the many steel-frame and brick-and-mortar industrial buildings that we have also designed, and project managed through to successful completion.   Certainly, we are also very familiar with most of the alternative building systems currently available on the market. Many would argue that these technologies should rather be called “superior building systems”. This is considering the speed at which they facilitate construction, saving our clients in both time and costs. This while also significantly reducing the carbon footprint of structures. They especially appeal to a structural engineering firm that is not afraid to test existing limitations to supply the best possible engineering solution to our clients.   Learn more about Infinite Consulting Engineers and our value proposition. www.infinitece.co.za 

❓✔️Q & A for those who may ask, "Why Steel?" 🏗️ 🟩 General Contractors Accelerated Construction ➜ structural steel can be rapidly designed, fabricated & erected. Construction Costs ➜ increased revenue thanks to faster construction; future cost savings if/when projects need modification due to high adaptability of steel frames. Lower Risk ➜ selecting a structural steel framing system & engaging fabricators reduces risk exposure for GCs 🟩 Structural Engineers Design Flexibility ➜ structural steel can accomplish any design architects and engineers can imagine, from simplicity and functionality to complexity and compelling visuals Future Adaptability ➜ steel framing systems can be more easily adapted for new loading conditions, vertical expansion, and changes in owner requirements vs. other framing systems without significantly impacting floor plans. 🟩Building Owners Maintenance & Restoration Cost ➜ steel provides reduced costs and exceptional performance vs. other structural materials when considering inspection and maintenance requirements. Sustainability ➜ structural steel is 93% recycled and 100% recyclable, making it a material that is circular for generations, instead of going to a landfill or an incinerator.
