The project:
The landside terminal skylights for the Orlando International airport, comprised of the “boulevard” skylight and four additional “lightbar” skylights, cover a whopping 1.4 acres (!) and are hurricane-rated for small missile. Moving West to East, the main boulevard ridge unit has a shallow slope downward towards the center of the skylight, then upward toward the front near the entrance. It has three different glass make-ups with different silkscreens, creating a unique pattern.

My scope of work:
My scope of work includes:
My scope of work includes:
- All of the aluminum framing sitting atop the king trusses.
- Insulated ridge flashing with penetrations for the fall-arrest system.
- Insulated Perimeter flashing with expansions gaskets to allow for movement.
I produced the shop drawings for the customer and architect’s approval. I also generated the glass sizes and the fabrication & assembly drawings for our shop to produce all of the framing and brake metal.
