This project had an aggressive schedule with only six weeks for engineering and start of delivery. The entire project delivered in three to four months and each sequence required multiple loads of material on-site at one time.
The Amazon Distribution Center project is interesting because of its massive size. With over 4,000 tons of joists and almost 19,000 squares of deck.
The joist and deck system allows for larger bays meaning fewer columns and more open space. The system was able to be erected quickly to maintain an aggressive schedule.
