The FAA is seeking qualified Structural Engineers licensed in the State of Illinois to propose and implement a solution to structural complications that have occurred at the Terminal Radar Approach Control Facility located at 1100 Bowes Rd. in Elgin, IL.
Some of the TS 8x8x5/16 steel columns of exterior frames forming the vertical trusses that support the roof trusses of the Operations Wing have failed due to water infiltration that froze during winter months, causing longitudinal cracks near the base of the columns. This project consists of three tasks:
1. Presentation of the solution. 2. Fabrication/manufacture of repair structural elements (AISC Certification not required but highly recommended). 3. Implementation of solution.
