Centerville Clinics - Washington, Pennsylvania Project Credits Owner:  Centerville Clinics Architect:  CM Services, LLC Structural Engineer of Record (SER):  CM Services, LLC This development of two buildings will be the newest offices for Centerville Clinics which currently has locations throughout Washington, Greene, and Fayette Counties.  The main building will be two stories with 16,000 square feet and the smaller building will be two stories with 10,000 square feet and the total project cost is $5.1 Million.  Mr. Romesburg provided structural analysis, recommendations, and structural solutions for the existing buildings on the site that are to be renovated and repurposed for the new offices.  The main building will receive a new roof structure and a large glass atrium addition that required substantial new steel framing for support.  Both buildings required additions designed with masonry and light gauge steel for mechanical units, elevators, and extra space.  Along with the structural design Mr. Romesburg also assisted with architectural design, site design, and was in charge of the contracts for demolition and asbestos remediation.  The project is currently under construction.

Washington County Health Center, Physical Therapy Addition - Washington, Pennsylvania Project Credits Owner:  Washington County Architect:  CM Services, LLC SER:  CM Services, LLC This project is a two story 6,000 square foot addition along with supplemental interior renovations.  Mr. Romesburg designed the addition utilizing precast concrete plank, masonry exterior walls, and structural steel.  The lateral system was designed as reinforced CMU shear walls.  The addition is located over an area of fill, so a deep foundation design was required.  Based on the geotechnical report large diameter caissons that pocketed into the bedrock were designed.  In addition to the structural design Mr. Romesburg assisted with architectural and site design.  The $1.1 Million project is currently under construction.

Euro-Composites Addition - Culpeper, Virginia Project Credits Owner:  Euro-Composites Lead Designer:  Structural Concepts, Inc. SER:  Structural Concepts, Inc. This 38,000 square foot production hall addition required 34 feet of clear space between the top of slab and bottom of the roof structure.  The hall is 80 feet wide and 280 feet long with no interior supports requiring steel joist construction.  An insulated wall panel with supporting steel wind girts and a reinforced CMU knee wall was the typical wall construction.  Steel moment frames with detailed connections were necessary due to the large open spaces.  In addition to the building structural design, analysis for a crane rail carrying two to four 10 ton cranes was performed.  Code studies for emergency egress, plumbing requirements, and ADA accessibility for the entire building's 83,000 square feet and two uses were completed.  A large mechanical mezzanine was required to house the HVAC equipment outside of the production hall.
