Description:
Stratford Engineering was the structural engineer for the new 5-story building at 490 East Tremont Avenue in the Bronx, New York, for a new Essen Health Center. Stratford designed the new cast-in-place concrete with concrete shear walls and concrete flat slabs. Additional considerations for the building design include a large roof screen for rooftop mechanical equipment and an exterior concrete canopy.
Stratford was also designed the support of excavation of the building. The support of excavation involved the installation of temporary grouted steel piles along the South and East, street-adjacent sides of the building, with walers between the piles and rakers installed down to bedrock below. Included in the support of excavation was also a monitoring plan, containing vibration and optical monitoring compliant with applicable local building codes.
