Bridge
Cemetary Road/Hugo Mine Bridge Deck Replacement
Location: Keystone, SDTotal Project Cost: $200,000.00Project Design Engineer : Paul Egge, PEProject Description : This bridge design was a replacement for and existing bridge at a crossing on Cemetery Road. The existing bridge was a timber bridge constructed with log beams and a wood deck. The logs had been decayed and on of the log beams had collapsed into the creek. The bridge abutments were constructed with concrete and in good condition, so the decision was made to re-utilize the existing abutments. Precast double tees were selected for the structure of the new bridge for durability, low maintenance and speed of construction. The bridge provides access to the residences on the south side of the creek, so in addition to a limited budget a fast tracked project was critical.

K-12 Schools
Location : Rapid City, SDTotal Project Cost : $ 12.50 MillionSize : 98,400 SFProject Design Engineer : Paul Egge, PEConstruction Estimate : $ 11.30 Million.Bid Price : $ 11.05 Million.Building Description : Hermanson Egge Engineering served as the prime consultant on this project. The building has a main level footprint of 84,700 SF with an upper level class room pod of 13,700 SF for a total building size of 98,400 SF. The finished building needs to be occupied by August of 2008. Because of the limited construction time, we designed an isolated steel frame to support the floors, roofs and upper level walls. This allowed the contractor to quickly erect the floor and roof. The installation of the mechanical and electrical systems started much earlier than normal, allowing an early completion time. The exterior and interior walls are masonry..jpg)
K-12 Schools
Central High School Fine Arts Addition Location : Rapid City, SD Total Project Cost : $9,000,000.00 Size : 37,200 S.F Project Design Engineer : Paul Egge, PE Project Description : The new auditorium for Rapid City's Central High School is a 680-seat multipurpose performing arts space for drama, music, dance, lyric theatre, and lecture use. While there is no balcony, the seating and aisles are efficient yet comfortable with excellent sightlines to the stage. The stage is tall enough to allow flown scenery and the rigging provides safe access for servicing light and curtains and tracks. Over the stage is modified gridiron system that allows for regular servicing and some special rigging while not reducing the fly height. The rigging system is a combination of motorized to fly the heavier and slower lighting and shell safely and manual for the lighter curtains and scenery. There is a complete orchestra shell with rolling towers and flown ceiling with integral concert lighting to enhance band, chorus, and orchestra sound. The stage floor is on rubber pads for resiliency to support dance and aid orchestra. State of the art networked lighting controls are rubber pads for resiliency to support dance and aid orchestra. State of the art networked lighting controls are included with just under 300 circuits. Energy saving LED lighting, not requiring relamping for a very long time, is used for house lighting as well as for some production lighting. The auditorium is supported with shops, dressing and make-up space, some storage, a band rehearsal room, as well as lobby and audience amenities..jpg)
