Giraffe
COMMERCIAL
Location: Houston, TX
Designer: Structural Consultants Associates, INC
Builder: Rock Formations Texas
Methods: Concrete Backfill, Welded to Steel Frames
For the Giraffe project, Structural Consultants Associates designed the large steel frame, and we welded our castings directly to the framework. Each casting included embedded ½-inch threaded inserts, allowing J-bolt anchors to be secured. These anchors provided stable connection points for welding back to the main structure, ensuring durability and precision.
