The building features 17 stories in South Boston. During excavation of the project a 19th century shipwreck was discovered. In composite joists, plumbing, electrical lines and ducts can pass through the joists. So, with the mechanical through the joists, the floor-to-floor height can be reduced. In the same way, shear connector on top of joist give possibility to have shallower joist, so it maximize ceiling heights.
