The design and construction of the a new High Temperature Hot Water piping system serving the entire South Woods Prison site in Bridgeton, NJ utilized steel joist construction for economy and flexibility.
Advantages of the chosen structural system include lower material costs and design costs. Specifying and utilizing steel joists to support the HTHW pipe spanning over roadways, service areas and the gates in security fence was more economical than designing and fabricating small truss bridges for these locations. The production and supply of the steel joists allowed for a shorter construction schedule and shorter design schedule.
