Salt Palace Convention Center
Salt Lake City, Utah
Long-Span AESS Trusses and Sculptural Steel Defining a Landmark Convention Hall
The Salt Palace Convention Center was skillfully erected utilizing two cranes simultaneously. Flawless AESS banana trusses support the unique roof structure of the perimeter while 260 ft triangulated trusses, weighing in at 180 tons, adorn the ceiling of the convention center. SME meticulously fabricated AESS rolled tube steel composing the interior tree columns and branches. The cylinder tower pieces were shop assembled and transported via oversized loads in only eight separate panels forming the circle while limiting the number of field weld connections. This structure was awarded Silver Certification for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.
