Structural Steel Guard Rail on 29th Floor

TWS Calgary has created the guard rail for the 29th floor of this new hotel in down town Calgary.

Let’s be honest, it’s on the roof and yes it’s a daunting view but TWS Calgary’s team is used to constructing structural steel at heights.

The vertical columns made of 6″X10″ HSS are 8 feet tall and tied in around the perimeter with 4X4  girders. These items are pre-built in the TWS shop, transported to site and then flown into place on the 29th floor with a Wolff 116B US crane.

It’s a precarious job that takes skill and finesse and once fenced in will keep those using the roof in the future, safe and sound.

Structural Steel Hopper Installation

TWS Calgary just manufactured and installed these huge hoppers for a local company.

A hopper is a large, pyramidal or cone shaped container used in industrial processes to hold particulate matter or flow-able material of any sort, like dust, gravel, nuts, seeds etc. and can then dispense these from the bottom when needed.

After constructing these steel hoppers had to be installed and secured on site with a structural frame work anchored to heavy metal footings.

Sunny Side Storm Water Lift Station Upgrade

What is a storm water lift station?

Stormwater lift stations are used to manage stormwater within a given area by pumping water away from low-lying areas. The Sunny Side lift station will collect and then re-direct stormwater through underground piping to outfall structures located at the Bow River.

So basically the station will collect flood water and redirect it to keep flooding water from continuing into residential areas in Sunny Side.

The Welding Shop Calgary provided some structural steel modifications with a number of steel stairs and landing areas.
