City of Sausalito Bus Shelter and Public Restroom

This new $3 million dollar structure and facility was designed and constructed of structural steel tubes and light gauge metal framing. The building system consisted of tubular steel moment framing that were all shop fabricated and field erected.

This project was part of the City of Sausalito’s redevelopment in which they replaced this important landmark in the very center of downtown. The entire project was designed using Green and LEED Principles. Structural Steel and LGMF was used, as was high fly-ash Portland cement in the concrete mix designs. The idea here was longevity of the structure as it sits in a marine environment. The previous structure did not hold up to the elements.

Value Added to the Client

One of the challenges of the project was to minimize the need for field welding and ensure that most of the critical welding occurred in the structural steel shop, where quality control is more consistent. Substrate met this demand by designing the framing with sleeved connections that could be erected and bolted in the field. As a result the Construction Phase led to very few RFI’s and the frames bolted together almost as easy as an erector set.
