Discover the Difference of Quality Engineering
The custom canopies at Moorings Park are a testament to Duo-Gard's engineering prowess and our commitment to turning ambitious designs into reality. Our team's dedication, expertise, and collaborative spirit ensured the successful completion of this challenging and rewarding project. Over 400 engineering hours were spent on the design and execution of these canopies. Transforming visionary designs into tangible realities is our passion.
With a specific design already established by the architect, the engineering challenges were significant with the unique geometry of the canopies. Each attachment point required individual evaluation and customization. The large site presented additional challenges, as dimensions couldn't be pulled from any solid reference points, complicating coordination, especially for the stairwell coverings. Excellent communication between our design team, the client, our PE’s, and our installers was paramount in the success of this project.
“It was rewarding to see so many people come together to make this project happen. Each canopy had a unique style, scale, and layout; however, we utilized engineering and 3D modeling to ensure the final product provided a cohesive look between the various canopies on the project” Sam Morford, PE, P.Eng at Uzman Engineering.
“I always enjoy a challenge, so working with such a unique design was interesting. This is one of those projects that you remember long after it is completed. Seeing it as a 3D model or a drawing on a computer screen is one thing, but seeing the photos really gives a much better impression of the scale and magnitude” Joe Furton, Senior Engineer at Duo-Gard.
