Thornton Tomasetti - Structural Engineers ACE MENTOR PROGRAM We did the structural design for the six-million-square-foot Las Vegas CityCenter Block A. Other projects exceeding one million square feet? We ve done more than 150 of them. Less than a week after Hurricane Ike hit the Gulf Coast, a team of 25 of our people from nine offices converged on Houston to help our clients assess damage, develop remediation plans and stabilize damaged structures. The design require ments for San Francisco s new Transbay Transit Center include beauty, functionality, resilience and sustainability all topped by a five -acre publicpark. We ve long been a premier go-to firm for the most challenging structural tasks. Courtesy of the Transbay Joint Powers Authority Revit modeling helped us optimize the innovative cone and trellis structure of Masdar Headquarters in Abu Dhabi. The 3D visualization aided coordination with the owner s representatives, and web meetings limited the need for extensive travel. After designing structures for many of the world s tallest buildings Kingdom Tower, Ping An Financial Center, Shanghai Tower, Taipei 101 and the Petronas Towers we ve become known as the supertall design firm, even if this is only a portion of our work. The façade of the Chelsea Modern is only one example of the creativity that we bring to the most complex curtain wall design. Image T. K. With an award-to-open schedule of only 30 months, Nationals Park was built faster than any Major League ballpark. We met the ultra-fast-track schedule by collaborating intensively with the design-build project team and by using 3D building information modeling to speed design and material procurement.
