There are other companies available, but they have not paid to receive the AISC certifications. Since AISC certification does not guarantee a quality project, and the issues surrounding finding an AISC certified company, and due to the fact that this project is quite small, we request that an exemption be given for this certification.

However, after closer examination through the ceiling hatch in the walk in cooler below this area, there appears to be much more to this work than the plan identify. The floor structure appears to consist of a 3-6” thick concrete slab poured integrally with 10”x8” concrete beams spaced approximately 9’ oc. In addition, the is a steel structure on the ground floor under this area denoted for demolition which supports a sort of brick “catacomb” style barrel vaulted ceiling and walls.
