UNH James Hall Shoring Design Durham, NH
Overview
The renovation and addition to the University of New Hampshire's James Hall Science Building called for the removal of large, riveted attic truss web members. Summit Engineering provided the shoring design scheme that allowed Shawmut Construction to save tens of thousands of dollars in construction costs. In addition, the design allowed construction below the attic floor to continue, reducing the projects down time.
