Project overview

Supporting Los Angeles’ water reuse infrastructure.

The Advanced Water Purification Facility is part of the Donald C. Tillman Water Reclamation Plant development in Van Nuys, California, intended to increase water reuse and groundwater replenishment capacity for the City of Los Angeles.

Working for S&S Steel Fabrication, Anatomic provided detailing for approximately 650 tons of structural and miscellaneous steel, including building structures and stairs.

The project’s design-build delivery required the team to work with frequently revised drawings and a high volume of RFIs.

Design-build coordination

Keeping the steel model aligned with changing design information.

01

Frequent drawing revisions

New drawing sets were issued throughout detailing, requiring the team to identify changes affecting the steel package.

02

RFI tracking and verification

Earlier RFIs, responses and design assumptions had to be reviewed against each new issue to confirm they remained valid.

03

Continuous model updates

Anatomic updated the Tekla model to reflect current documentation, coordinating changes closely with S&S Steel Fabrication.
