EM Structural’s 120 Piedmont project is nearing completion!

This 26 story, 467,125 sq. foot student housing tower in downtown Atlanta, Georgia is wrapping up construction in time for the fall semester at Georgia State University !

The structure is post tensioned flat plate concrete slabs supported on concrete columns.  There are several columns that transfer out at level 6.    Lateral loads are resisted by reinforced concrete shear walls.   The foundation system consisted of pile caps with 18″ diameter auger cast piles.   There is also an independent structural steel canopy to highlight the main entrance.

Check out a few pictures of the completed structure:
