Sam Higgins Repair

One of the workers installing a new fire protection system noticed a crack in a roof purlin. The property manager contacted The Structures Group to investigate the damage and engineer the repairs. We designed the job so that installing the new purlin would have a minimal impact on the tenant’s operations.
