Axis was selected by Cobb County Government to provide architectural, MEP, Civil, Roofing, and Structural design services needed for various County projects. Services provided under this on-call contract include, but are not limited to, engineering studies, pre-design and pre-construction activities, detailed design services, project management, contract administration, contract management and other related services.

Axis performed a structural inspection of an existing aquatic center building which exhibited significant corrosion and roof leaks because of poor construction and deteriorated conditions.  The building is an approximately 30,000-square-foot, one story pre-engineered steel framed building with light gauge roof purlins spanning between steel frames with CMU interior and exterior non-load bearing walls. Axis inspected the entire roof to examine conditions in which water may be entering the building to cause the roof framing corrosion, inspected the steel columns for section loss, and any other adverse conditions visible within the building.

Axis provided a structural inspection report outlining the existing conditions, required replacement and reinforcement details to replace and repair the purlins as required, and repair details for steel columns exhibiting section loss and other adverse conditions. Details were created using AutoCAD drafting software. All general notes and scope of construction outlined were done in accordance with IBC, ASCE7, and AISC.
