Southern Division was recently awarded the 2,025 ton Marco Island Marriot Lanai Building located in Marco Island, FL. The Marriot Resort will remain open to guests during the duration of the project, adding another level of complexity to the already challenging site location. The bulk of the fabrication consists of columns embedded in concrete, shop assembled trusses that span the guest rooms, and field assembled trusses that span a 150’ ballroom clear space. The erection will require multiple mobilizations to allow concrete installation between sequences and is scheduled to be complete by October of 2016, allowing the building to open to the public in early 2017.
