Noteworthy Projects: Engineer Letter Certifications

ATS Engineers has worked in cooperation with Gorrondona & Associates on the Hotel Granduca project, Austin’s newest luxury hotel located on the hilltop near Bee Cave Rd and Loop 360 in West Lake Hills.  We performed welding, mechanical fastening, and sprayed fire insulation inspections for the steel portions of the hotel, which include the ballroom and offices.  In conjunction with the inspections we also provided engineer letters certifying several aspects of the construction process; details of which include slag, weld and insulation thickness, side lap screws, and spacing.  Our role in this project pays tribute to the importance of hard work and attention to detail even in the smallest tasks, all in an effort to produce the lavish amenities you will find in this world class hotel.
