EM Structural Engineers has long been known for our expertise with concrete and wood structures, but did you know that E+M is also very accomplished when designing structural systems for load bearing cold formed steel framing!
EM Structural has significant experience/expertise on several major cold formed steel projects throughout the US. With several million square under our belt, we have successfully completed projects is the following cities among others :
Charleston, South Carolina – 10 West Edge , 55 Romney
Cincinnati, Ohio – The Banks
Detroit, Michigan – Third & Grand
Nashville, Tennessee – Broadstone Gulch
Atlanta, Georgia – Star Metal Residences
Sandy Springs, Georgia – Somerby of Sandy Springs ,
Tuscaloosa, Alabama – Hotel Indigo
Cold formed steel, or light-gauge steel, as it is sometimes known, is a non-combustible, lightweight, and strong construction method that is easy and fast to construct. Cold formed steel is very popular in multi-family developments where code limits timber building’s height and combustibility requirements. Cold formed steel can go up to 9 stories and doesn’t have the shrinkage issues that timber construction typically has. Projects can be stick framed or more commonly, panels can manufactured off site and assembled with ease at the project location.
