Video: Load-Bearing CFS Design at Atlantic Crossing Building Wins SFIA Award for ADTEK Engineers

ADTEK Engineers, Inc. developed a SFIA award-winning, load-bearing CFS framing design that has curved openings, wing walls and unique exterior soffit features. Special CFS detailing was required in post-tensioned podium slab areas with cantilevers.

Atlantic Crossing Building III in Delray Beach, Florida, features cold-formed steel (CFS) framing as a critical solution to several challenges faced during design and construction.

Atlantic Crossing brings added dimensions to Delray Beach’s acclaimed Atlantic Avenue, providing new choices for living, working, shopping and enjoying city life, the Atlantic Crossing website says. The community is a “green and walkable destination” with a “lively” and “distinctive design” occupying two city blocks, the site says.

ADTEK Engineers, Inc., a member of the Steel Framing Industry Association (SFIA), is the SFIA 2023 Industry Project Awards winner, in the “Efficient Use of CFS Framing” category, for Atlantic Crossing Building III. The project involved ADTEK Engineers and SFIA member manufacturer Ram Steel Framing.

ADTEK Engineers was announced the winner at the 2023 SFIA Awards ceremony held recently. The SFIA 2023 Industry Project Awards focus on CFS manufacturing and construction. Architects, engineers, manufacturers, distributors and contractors entered their projects in the 2023 competition. The SFIA Awards entry was submitted by Andrew Newland of ADTEK Engineers.

Steel Framing Industry Association SFIA Awards

SFIA Industry Project Awards

The SFIA 2023 Industry Project Awards focus on cold-formed steel (CFS) manufacturing and construction. The awards program is a complement to the Design Excellence and Creative Detail Awards governed by CFSEI, the Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute. Architects, engineers, manufacturers, distributors and contractors entered their projects in the 2023 competition.

Judging Criteria

A panel of industry representatives judged all 2023 SFIA Awards entries based on the following criteria:

  1. Design Quality, such as the efficient and sustainable use of cold-formed steel (CFS) products
  2. Installation Complexity, focusing on conflict resolution, timeframe challenges, etc.
  3. Manufacturing Complexity, including custom orders, panelization, special material sourcing and more
  4. Overall Job Quality, including the quality of alignments, finishes and other attention to detail
  5. Conversion from Alternative Framing Material, reflecting how steel framing lowered a structure’s weight, or added stories, or helped lower the project’s builders’ risk insurance, etc.
