The following are some of the principal projects A Basic Service associates has executed in the recent past:
Mt. Roberts Aerial Tramway Upper Terminal Structure Design/Analysis and Upper/Lower Terminal Foundation Design - Juneau, Alaska
In 1996, the Mt. Roberts Aerial Tramway in Juneau, AK was opened for public operation. The 170’ upper terminal structure and all foundations for this tramway were designed, analyzed and detailed by A. Basic Service associated engineering, using ALGOR Finite Element Analysis Software. The structure was designed to withstand wind, snow and live loads as well as the loads imposed by tram operation. When complete, the finished structure weighed over 250 tons.
The tower design required a finite element model containing over 1500 beam elements to be analyzed in 6 different load cases (various combinations of wind, live, snow and tramway cable loads). When completed, more than 250 detail drawings of the tower components had been generated.
The design package also included design and detail drawings for the tower feet and guy wire anchor foundations. These were designed around extensive use of rock anchors (36 total up to 40’ long) and had to be designed for installation by helicopter (there was no road access to the tower site). Locations of the foundations were determined using 3-D topographical maps.
