Chugach Industries in Support of Picatinny Arsenal – Replacement of Pipe Supports

Picatinny Arsenal has many areas on the arsenal with centralized heating and cooling systems that serve multiple buildings. The associated piping is supported on steel structures in some of the locations to provide clearance for vehicle passage. One existing support location provided for limited vehicle clearance and was severely damaged by various accidental impacts. Our firm provided a structural re-design of the structural steel supports and foundations. Additionally, the design included the required temporary construction support to maintain the heating and cooling service lines throughout the demolition of the existing damaged supports and installation of new support structures that provided the necessary vehicle clearance and protection of the utilities.
