Project Details

At 30-stories, 99 West is the tallest residential high-rise in Downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. This post-tension structure was designed to a performance standard well beyond the prescriptive building code.

Working with project engineers, Steel Encounters developed strategies and designs to accommodate movement of the structure during a seismic event. Several of the floors can experience displacement as much as 5" in the floor-to-floor drift.
