DoubleTree Hotel
The 201,000-square-foot DoubleTree Hotel, part of Hilton Worldwide Company, features 209 guest rooms, multiple meeting/conference rooms, a large grand ballroom, a 100-seat amphitheater, and a restaurant and bar, pub, fitness center, and indoor swimming pool. WBCM was brought in by the project contractor and steel fabricator to provide value engineering services after the initial design proved too costly. WBCM’s redesign of the guest tower reduced structural framing costs by 10 percent, keeping it below the $4 million budget allowance. WBCM coordinated closely with the steel fabricator, contractor, and architect to complete the redesign, provide shop drawings and design for exterior light gage panels, and facilitate steel fabrication within four months of notice to proceed. The quick turnaround allowed the project to remain on schedule.

River Vue Apartments
River Vue is a 16-story building comprised of 218 apartments and two-story townhomes. Renovation of this building was cited by the Wall Street Journal as an example of the renewed livability of Pittsburgh. WBCM’s role as the structural engineer for this building renovation included re-analysis of the structure for overall lateral stability, given increased wind loading applied by new screen walls at the roof in combination with removal of columns from the original structure. The basement of the building was converted to vehicular parking for tenants.
