THE CHALLENGE
CBI provided engineering services associated with the design of the aluminum gates and fence designed by artist Lydia Rubio. The gates and fence are 70 feet long and 10 feet tall with two smaller sections that are 9 feet tall and 32 feet long.
CBI’S SOLUTION
CBI reviewed the Rubio’s renderings and dimensions and undertook a finite design to minimize the mass of the structure and to meet Dade County Florida Hurricane Code requirements. CBI worked carefully to match engineering drawings with the artist’s sketches, maintaining her intention while engineering a structure that was sound.
