According to the Steel Joist Institute and the Gerald Ford International Airport’s annual report, the team that included WGI’s Carl Walker/Parking Solutions Division won the Non-Industrial Design Award. The report noted that since the original construction in 2011, this airport never used the top parking deck during the winter. With the growth of air travel, the airport wanted to cover the top level without entirely closing the sides. For long-term protection, along with the structural steel, the final design required all the steel joists and bridging to be galvanized. With over 600 pieces at 62-feet long, the joists were too long for single dip galvanizing, resulting in each joist being fabricated with a custom matched bolted splice at the center. Steel joists were lighter in weight and more economical than using wide flange beams. The project credits include: Location Grand Rapids, MI Structural Engineer Fishbeck, Thompson, Carr & Huber, Inc.
