Rich.
I have inspected the cooler structure at the referenced project. The following are my observations.
1. It appears that the cooler is a wood framed structure installed inside of the existing building shell.
2. There is no wind or snow load applied to this structure, and I could not identify any collateral
loads other than a few cooling units suspended from the ceiling. The only real Ioad would be the
structure dead weight.
3. The ceiling appears to be supported by a steel post and beam framework inside of the cooler.
4 The wood struts attached to the existing building and the cooler could possibly be stability bracing
used during erection, and never removed. The random nature and spacing of the struts do not
indicate a uniform lateral bracing system layout. The cooler was stable at the time of the inspection
and appears to be self-supporting.
5. There were no signs of excessive deflections or distress in the cooler structure at the time of the
inspection.
6. My conclusion Is that the cooler structure is stable as presently constituted. No additional loads
should be applied, and no structural modification should be made without further Investigations.
If you have any questions please call.
Sincerely,
Stephen A. Kesler, P.E.
President
