Rockaway Beach Hotel
A 6 story 72 000sq ft beach hotel and surf club with spa. A degree of freedom provides foundation and structural design services for this project. Working with the design team, we overcame significant issues with a high water table and storm surge loading which places significant upward pressure on the cellar ( up to 720psf) . The problem of upward pressure required reappraisal of the design and the solution was to elevate the 1st floor above grade. This required foundation slab tie downs (30T uplift capacity). this design allowed for garage, storage and kitchen spaces below grade.
A series of transfer girders ( steel beams encased in concrete) created a column free event space at the 2nd floor ( currently used as a roller rink in winter months)
