“Around 28,000 tons of steel overall was procured from Merrill, and they probably subbed out the fabrication to at least 30 different shops across the nation from Louisiana to Washington state, just based on the varying portions of the project and the speed it needed to be done.

That was the whole logistic challenge: coordinating between 30-plus shops, special inspections, quality control and things like that. But [the steel] did get here on time. It came in from all directions across the U.S. by truck.”

- Paul Dudzinski, VP of Operations, McCarthy

“Another innovation took advantage of steel fabricator Merrill Steel’s trucking equipment and proximity to the job site (180 miles).

The canopy girders/struts were fully fabricated in the shop, painted, shipped to the site, and then erected as a single piece to sit directly on the building columns. The longest canopy-plus-back-span piece shipped to the site measured in at 110 ft long (78 ft cantilever plus 32 ft back span), 19 ft deep, and 23 tons. Due to the preassembled shop fabrication of the canopy, two canopy girder/strut assemblies were erected per day. The entire 145,000-sq.-ft canopy was erected in just 18 weeks, including the erecting in the harsh months of January and February.

Assembling the full girder/strut allowed for aesthetically pleasing welded connections to be used. Additionally, it allowed a higher quality paint system, without field painting or field bolting of surfaces, that will increase the longevity of the paint and steel system.”

“Merrill assembled an experienced project team that worked closely with our design team throughout the project. Merrill was very organized and efficient in their execution of the structural steel contract and achieved all shop drawing, fabrication, and delivery milestone requirements.”

– Joseph M. Gidcumb, Project Manager, The Perry Group, LTD.

“I would like to commend Merrill on a job well-done. The Merrill team developed a well thought-out erection plan that resulted in both exceeding our erection schedule and having zero injuries on-site during erection. It has been a pleasure working with Merrill, refining and coordinating difficult perimeter edge details for the steel structure.”

– Michael Radtke, Project Manager, Oscar J. Boldt Construction

“The entire project would not have been possible without the absolute excellence of Merrill’s firm and its team’s execution and delivery. As always, Merrill quality far surpasses all of its competition, and on a going-forward basis, I would hope to always find a way for a ‘made by Merrill’ job.”
