Sunroad Corporate Center
Landscape Improvements
San Diego, CA
This project engaged JEG engineers to provide the structural design associated with landscaping improvements at the Sunroad Corporate Center. The main focus involved new open deck areas, a steel-framed enclosed covered meeting pavilion, outdoor seating, a concrete fume for water trans-fer, and associated foundation elements. The team provided support to the GC for the building permitting process.
Centerside Corporate Center
Landscape Improvements
San Diego, CA
The JEG engineering team was brought on board to provide structural engineering services for a project involving significant landscaping improvements at the Centerside Corporate Center in San Diego. The focal point of the landscaping
improvements project involved two new cantilevered deck areas and associated foundation elements as well as a steel-framed shade structure. The shade canopy was needed for the Center’s fitness area.
San Diego Children’s Zoo Various Structure Designs
San Diego, CA
A tall Dragonfly Sculpture and an Aerial Tram are just two of the projects JEG structural engineers have been working on at the new San Diego Children’s Zoo. The team also has been busy providing the structural design of foundation elements for a support frame for an ETFE Greenhouse as well as for several tent structures for this new section of the popular San Diego Zoo.
Sunset Cliffs Natural Park Pedestrian Bridge and Crib Wall Design
La Jolla, CA
JEG engineers provided the structural design for a 40-ft span timber pedestrian bridge and timber crib retaining walls at Sunset Cliffs Natural Park. The bridge and retaining
walls were part of a Hillside improvements project that included several items associated with civil and landscaping improvements to the park. The structural team coordinated
with the City of San Diego as required for permit approval for the project.
OAM Brown Field Air Unit Equipment Shade Structure Dept. of Homeland Security
Customs & Border Protection
San Diego, CA
US Customs & Border Protection needed an equipment shade structure to cover existing mechanical equipment at Brown Field Air Unit in San Diego. JEG was called to
provide structural engineering for the structure design as well as supporting foundation and structure attachment to the foundation.
The Plunge Aquatic and Fitness Center
San Diego, CA
The JEG team was brought on board to provide structural engineering services for the renovation of this existing fitness center and natatorium in central San Diego. The team led the design for upgrades needed to accommodate new floor openings, cladding, and space configurations. The design also included a new fountain and a mezzanine structure for a new pre-engineered building.
Natatorium Building Addition
Orange County, CA
This project required the JEG structural engineering team to design a lean-to structure integrated with an existing, pre-manufactured building for a back-of-house facility. The lean-to consisted of a light gage steel-framed structure with steel panel cladding to match the existing PMB. Project also included anchorage and evaluation of structural support for new equipment being mounted to the steel framing of the existing PMB.
APX Water Park Structure
(Undisclosed Location)
Our team did a detailed structural analysis on the complex loading imposed on this water park structure from both the patrons and the water features. Large dynamic loading
was present in the design as a result of the many moving parts and water flow, requiring our engineers to develop a detailed knowledge of the mechanical design and ensure
careful consideration of the long-term effects of these loads such a fatigue. Our efforts led to a savings of close to 15% on steel tonnage.
NB-100 Play Structure for Amusement Park
(Undisclosed Location)
To capture all effects of various load combinations on the complex geometry of this structure, our team of engineers led the design for an intricate three-dimensional finite element analysis model which not only facilitated the structural design, but allowed for the extraction of data for designers of other features and allowed the team to see the effect of design changes in real time.
NB-200 Play Structure for Amusement Park
(Undisclosed Location)
In a cost-saving effort to shrink the steel tonnage of the structure, our team created an in-house 3D analytical model to study the effects of reducing structural sections on the overall performance of the model considering, strength, stiffness, and the performance requirements imposed on the amusement structure vendor for their most typical
projects. Our efforts helped client see a 29% reduction in steel tonnage.
Skyrail Zipline
Orlando, FL
Structural engineering design for steel play structure incorporating a zip-line and several other play features.
Water Park Play Structure
USA
JEG provided structural design to assist the play structure manufacturer in developing a marketable product able to be installed in amusement park locations worldwide for complex live and environmental loading conditions.
Zip Line System for Mountain Resort
(Undisclosed Location)
Our team reviewed major components of the zip line system including connections of the mechanical systems and anchorage to supporting substrate. Of particular interest
was high tensile loading in the zip line resulting from patron live loads and ice loading on the line. Our efforts led to an economized design of the structural elements with key
reinforcement and strengthening techniques implemented throughout the system as required.
Aztec Stadium
San Diego State University, San Diego, CA
This is a design-build project for San Diego State University’s new Aztec Stadium, a 35,000-seat stadium to support college football, professional and college soccer, concerts, and other events. JEG engineers were contracted to provide structural engineering services for the design and construction of steel stairs and miscellaneous steel items. The team coordinated with the client to ensure the design met all code requirements.
