Structural Highlights
Long-span steel framing designed around manufacturing operations
Multi-level braced frame system supporting process-driven loads
Heavy transfer members fabricated and coordinated with erection sequencing
Composite floor framing integrated into elevated production areas
The Encore Wire Medium Voltage Plant was designed around a highly specialized manufacturing process that drove the structure itself.
The facility required long-span framing, heavily loaded transfer elements, and a coordinated lateral system capable of supporting both operational demands and constructability requirements.
KMV worked closely with the owner, architect, contractor, and steel fabricator throughout design and construction to help bring the system from shop fabrication to final erection.
