I-70 Event Canopy, Denver
Architect: The Abo Group
As part of the ongoing project to take portions of Interstate 70 below ground as it passes through the City of Denver, the area above the underground highway will be developed into a park. Ascent Group is working with the Abo Group and WSP for CDOT, City of Denver and Kiewit/Meridiam Partners on event canopies, infrastructure buildings and landscape retaining walls. We are currently engineering a large event canopy which involves an elevated steel roof structure with leaning steel columns that will be built over the reinforced concrete bridge over the underground highway below.

Duplex Housing
Architect: bhh Partners
Ascent is working with bhh Partners to engineer this hillside development of duplex homes. The project challenges include garages over living spaces and expansive window walls requiring heavily loaded framing. Foundation design for deep excavation and multi-stepped excavation levels required close coordination with civil and soils engineering consultants and the architect, bhh Partners, on building location and grading.
