PVS Structures is assisting in building the new stingray complex at the Henry Doorly Zoo. The project will be completed in three phases. Though the project is only about 120 tons of steel, it is architecturally challenging as the building itself is in a curved shape and the roof above through the entire shape waves at the roof line in contrast to the building layout. We look forward to bringing you new updates on this exciting project!
PVS Structures Chief Engineer, Mark Holland, PE., has a delightful and humorous article featured in the November 2019 AISC magazine Steelwise. Check out his insightful and constructive thoughts on page 16 in the link below;

PVS would like to thank our customers and partners who attended our breakfast seminar. This year we partnered with Paul Johnson, PhD, PE, Design Build Supervisor at the Nucor Detailing Center who presennted on Vulcraft’s RediCor Modular Steel Form System, and brought a demonstration piece that our participants were able to walk through. Time is money in the construction industry and this system can cut schedule time significantly, since RediCor allows you to erect steel as you put up the core without having to wait for the concrete.
We look forward to hosting you for our next breakfast seminar – if you have any topics you think we should cover, please let us know!

PVS Structures is excited to be a part in the creation of the new Capitol District in downtown Omaha. This structure is currently slated as a multi-use addition to the Capitol District. Though not yet complete, the addition will provide more restaurants or retail space. With freedom to roam in the courtyard with open containers allowing people to eat, drink and relax while socializing. There is scheduled entertainment throughout the summer months. Building may also contain upper office space for downtown businesses. The 2nd floor will have a balcony.
Current photo/video shown almost 3/4 of the completed building of the steel structure. The floor to the east section shown is how the concrete floor is being poured. The pouring of the concrete within the building will take place in 3 phases, this being the 1st of 3.
