At MiTek SidePlate Connection Designs, we believe in nurturing talent and providing opportunities for growth and development. Our summer Co-op program is designed to offer valuable hands-on experience, mentorship, and learning opportunities in a dynamic and innovative environment. As our Co-op track for interns draws to a close, we would like to thank Sacha Dewancker for his time with us this summer. Sacha worked with us on the SidePlate Engineering Connections team, demonstrating an impressive work ethic and a passion for learning. He worked with us on designing projects and attended site and shop visits to see SidePlate connections up close. His commitment and professionalism were a fantastic addition to our team here at SidePlate. - The steel for the new Lake Elsinore, CA, city hall was fabricated by SCW Contracting Corporation and is now in place. Miyamoto International is the EOR who specified SidePlate Design Connections for the 40,000 sq ft project that will sit at the corner of Main Street and East Graham Avenue. Once complete the facility will house Elsinore No. 1, the city's first fire engine that served from 1925 into the 1960s.
- The next time we post about the new high school in Beaverton, Oregon, it will be to show just how beautiful the project is, but today we will be posting about how beautiful the steel used in creating the SidePlate connections looks. Fabricated at Fought & Company Inc. the steel was treated to some time in the in-house shot blaster to finish it to an SP6 surface getting it ready for REFA Erection Inc. to start the construction. The Beaverton School District worked with EOR KPFF Consulting Engineers and GC Skanska to get the plans together. Interestingly, one of the fabricators at Fought lives near the construction site and passes it daily and plans to watch the steel he helped create get turned into a brand new school. How cool is that?

Building a hospital in California is quite complex. The rules established by HCAI are stringent—for good reason. California is a seismic zone and people will always be in a hospital—so KPFF Consulting Engineers the EOR on the Hoag Hospital, East Pavilion in Irvine, CA chose SidePlate Plus connections to ensure safety. Team members from Schuff Steel who fabricated and erected the project, McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. who was the General Contractor, KPFF and, of course, SidePlate got together to celebrate the topping out of the 86,000 sq ft project. - A few years back we had quite a bit to say about our participation in the construction of the Charles R. Jones Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse in Charlotte, NC. We knew it was going to be a special project and a number of site visits took place during construction and, of course, a visit when it was complete because who doesn't like a stop in Charlotte? Well, it turns out the project really is special as it was just awarded the General Services Administration (GSA) Construction Excellence Award, and it won Project of the Year, Honor in Capital Projects and, finally, Merit In Craftsmanship! Be sure you add it to your to-do list on your next visit to Charlotte.
Home gsa.gov - The new Mary Bridge Children's Hospital in Tacoma, WA. is almost ready. Standing five-stories tall with 275,000 sq ft of space the new facility features SidePlate Plus connections throughout. With engineering done by Structural Design Group and fabrication and erection done by Schuff Steel , the structure went up quickly and the SidePlate Team was excited to be part of such an important project.
- The 2024 NASCC Steel Show was an exciting week for the SidePlate team. It started with our own Matthew Brady marking his five-year anniversary with us, commemorated in a plaque presented by Matt Mester, S.E., P.E. . Our booth was highlighted by a SidePlate Connection built by Basden Steel Corporation painted to match the opening video on our website, and, of course, the great SidePlate team!
- The NASCC Show in San Antonio is in full swing and the SidePlate team is ready to answer your questions. Thanks to Basden Steel Corporation for building a life-size, color correct version of the connection we show in detail on our website.
- We are heading to San Antonio, Texas for the NASCC Steel Conference March 20-22, 2024. Meet us in booth #1423 to see what almost 30 years of SidePlate Connection Design technology can do for your project.
