  • Project: SMARF Building
  • Location: Cape Canaveral, FL
  • Original Project Date: 1993

Project Detail

The Solid Motor Assembly and Readiness Facility (SMARF) Building presented Canon Consulting with one of its most challenging design projects ever.  The building, located at Cape Canaveral, has a
roof iwthan area of about 60,500 ft2 and is
approximately 245 ft. above grade.  In addition to the height, the location presented challenges.  Located just off the Atlantic coast, the roof had to be designed to sustain Hurricane force winds.  To develop a design to meet these challenges conditions, Canon Consulting subcontracted Clemson University to conduct wind tunnel tests of potential designs.  Ultimately, specially designed spoiler panels were installed along the perimeter of the roof to disrupt wind currents thus reducing uplift.  The project was completed in 1994.  A performance evaluation study was conducted in 2002 to assess the overall integrity of the roof and spoiler panels.  The roof was determined to still be in good condition requiring only minor repairs.
