The Gate Towers

Long-span structures are usually challenging in themselves. But coupled with being on top of three 63-story towers makes it uniquely complicated. Every step of this grandiose project called for an innovative solution, beginning with a double-decker truss that carried the weight of luxury penthouses while spanning 200+ feet between towers. The planar truss was not straight but curved, inducing additional forces that had to be accounted for in design.
