Helicopters, VR, and Structural Engineering: K&H at the SEAOI Super Symposium

Our team attended the SEAOI Structural Engineers Association of Illinois Super Symposium!

There, Olivia Voskuil and Kathleen Strnad, RA presented “Engineering a Sign Removal via Helicopter: Steel Design for a Temporary Support Bracket”. Their presentation explored this one-of-a kind project at the Chicago Board of Trade Building where a large steel sign located 300ft above grade atop the South Building skylight was removed.

During another presentation, our structures team tested VR technology that is being used at the university level to further enhance students’ understanding of load path and building structures in 3 dimensions.
