VETERANS AFFAIRS MEDICAL CENTER IMPROVEMENTS
Rockville, Maryland
MCE ROLE: CONTRACTOR QUALITY CONTROL & STRUCTURAL CONSULTATION
This project is a $4 Million improvement to Ward 4A of the existing Veterans Affairs Medical Center in downtown Baltimore. The work consisted, in part, of adding a new elevator within existing area. Unlike most elevators, the new elevator pit would be a part of a new structured, suspended slab. Meyer Consulting Engineers Corporation was retained to provide two distinct scopes of work. First, MCE provided a Specialized Structural Inspector to provide quality control for the structural portions of the work. Secondly, our structural engineers provided structural design for beam splices in existing construction.
Meyer Consulting Engineers specializes in Structural Design & Systems Engineering, Parking Consultation and Construction Materials Testing & Inspection. We offer 35 years of superior service to the construction industry and look forward to the opportunity to be your engineering and inspection consultant. Please contact us when we can be of assistance.
