PVS Structures Responds to Urgent Need
Location: St. Paul, MN – Hoffman Bridge-Spanning the Mississippi River
Completed: November, 2017
Owner: Union Pacific Railroad
Contractor: JF Brennan
Union Pacific contacted PVS Structures after a pier was damaged by a barge on the Mississippi River, in St. Paul, MN. Upon collaboration, an accelerated steel design and fabrication plan was developed. Innovative braced frame assemblies were fabricated that included a new steel cap and corresponding steel grillages. PVS Structures fabrication included a seven day per week expedited fabrication cycle that delivered emergency spans ahead of projected schedule. The steel installation “fits like a glove” and was performed by contractor JF Brennan.
What UPRR Construction is saying about PVS Structures: PVS Structures reacted with an expedited timeline, after the initial schedule, upon request at five days ahead of original timeline. The quality of product was at the highest level I have seen on any project; let alone an Emergency Order. The deliveries where timely and trouble free.
Project notification of deliveries and contact by drivers was excellent

PVS Structures Hosts Concordia High School Principles of Engineering Class
Concordia’s Matt Mueller brought 23 students to PVS Structures to learn about steel and custom steel fabrication. In 2017, Concordia started to develop their STEM program and incorporated a field trip to PVS Structures. Questions and topics discussed included: Design Development, Preconstruction Take-Off, Materials, Detailing, Project Management, Employment, 1st Step Processing, Fit & Weld, Truss Fabrication, Bridge Fabrication, Coatings Prep & Application, and “Welder Whisperers” (True Craftsmen = PVS Structures Shop!)
Thank You Concordia! We absolutely love to have the future leaders in our industry in our facility!

PVS – Making “New Connections”
PVS and SidePlate working on a future ICON on the Omaha skyline.
PVS Structures is making “new connections” with Omaha’s most distinguished construction firms while fabricating HDR’s new World Headquarters, in Omaha’s Aksarben Village.
PVS is certainly connected to the Omaha Metro construction market. We are working with a powerhouse construction team (Kiewit, HDR, Noddle, & Davis) on the HDR HQ. The HDR HQ project has an innovative steel connection design from Structural Design Optimizer: SidePlate. The first of this patented connection design in Omaha, SidePlate connections are specifically engineered for the project requirements and are a more efficient lateral system due to their stiff frames. The benefits include less steel tonnage required, fewer joints, no vertical bracing, no field welding, and faster steel erection.
After over 130 years, our PVS team has again made a name for ourselves by fabricating highly complex steel solutions.
Developer: Noddle Companies
Tennant / Architect / Structural Engineer: HDR
General Contractor: Kiewit Building Group
Special Connection Design: SidePlate
Steel Erector: Davis Erection
Steel Fabricator: PVS Structures
Tons: 1,700
