GM Manufacturing Body Shop Program

WHAT WE DID

Working with a co-located multi-disciplinary team to complete a $1 billion program.

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

As structural engineer of record, Ruby worked together with a co-located design-build team at Barton Malow’s office to complete the structural design and steel shop fabrication drawings for this large four-site program for General Motors. Each site was unique and an aggressive 2-year schedule was implemented for the program, which included over 4,000,000 total square feet and over 25,000 tons of steel.

The Ruby team provided both design drawings and shop details to avoid delays and to meet GM’s schedule. Ruby’s integrated process provided faster 3D coordination with the follow-on trades and accelerated steel erection. Ruby’s engineers handled all Requests for Information internally and worked hand-in-hand with detailing partners to ensure that the projects were delivered successfully with steel arriving on-site as intended by the design team.
