WindCalculations.com Collaborates with HVAC Specialists to Fortify Alexan Crafts Development Against Extreme Weather

We at WindCalculations.com, a prominent division of Oasis Engineering, are elated to share some groundbreaking news. We are joining forces with leading HVAC experts to elevate the wind resilience of Alexan Crafts, an innovative mixed-use development in Coral Gables, Miami.

A Focus on Resilience in High-Velocity Hurricane Zones

Located in a high-velocity hurricane zone (HVHZ) within Miami-Dade County, Alexan Crafts faces an array of engineering hurdles. This geographical context demands unparalleled scrutiny in engineering design, ensuring compliance with both Miami-Dade HVHZ guidelines and Florida Building Code (FBC) regulations.

As the specialized wind engineering consultants for the rooftop mechanical ventilation systems at Alexan Crafts, our role is pivotal. We are committed to delivering not just stability but also the fortitude to bear the region's volatile wind circumstances. All wind load calculations and certified documents are painstakingly curated to stand up to the pinnacle of wind-resilient design criteria.

"With Miami-Dade County’s HVHZ status, the engineering benchmarks we have to meet are among the most rigorous nationwide. Our expertise lies in transcending these robust local requirements by applying avant-garde wind engineering solutions," says Enrique Lairet, PE, CEO of Oasis Engineering.

Our engagement in this project underlines our proficiency in negotiating the intricate wind engineering terrain that Miami-Dade’s HVHZ poses, adding a critical layer of resilience to the Alexan Crafts structure.

Tailored Engineering for HVAC Systems

Responding to a request from our HVAC partners, our role goes beyond generalized consultation to a specialized focus on making certain that the rooftop installations are structurally impervious to wind forces.

"While the building’s structural integrity is the purview of the overarching engineering team, our contribution specifically zooms in on the wind engineering components, ensuring the HVAC installations are up to the highest standards," added Lairet.
