Stiver Engineering provided a design for three piers (Robert’s Point Park, Charlie’s Pasture, and Brundrett Memorial) in Port Aransas, Texas, using concrete reinforced with GFRP bars. The design consisted of the decking panels, beams, an abutment, and pier caps for the three piers. Stiver also provided a loading analysis for the support piles.
The Eastern New Mexico Rural Water System project will provide potable water to eight city and county member agencies and Cannon Air Force Base in east-central New Mexico. It will replace current groundwater supplies from the Ogallala (or High Plains) Aquifer with a renewable surface water supply, the Ute Reservoir. Stiver Engineering performed excavation plans,…
As a part of a terminal and ramp expansion project at the Charlotte Douglas International Airport, Stiver Engineering provided a custom beam and plate lagging shoring design that was greater than 2,500 feet long. The 30-foot and 35-foot steel H-piles for the shoring system were driven prior to construction to avoid conflict with the elevated…
Stiver Engineering performed analysis and design work for rock anchors and HSS steel frames for a 44.5-inch diameter pipe support inside a 96-inch diameter tunnel. The supports were designed for critical load combinations generated from buoyant forces and self-weight of the pipe.
Stiver Engineering prepared a caisson cutting edge design for a wastewater lift station replacement project in Redmond, Washington. In addition to the caisson cutting edge design, Stiver performed skin friction calculations for the pour heights and proposed wall thickness to check the safety factor for sinking.
