When an important customer approached TTI-FSS looking for team players to fabricate and deliver steel for a new cruise terminal in Miami, our team jumped at the opportunity, and stepped up in a BIG way! TTI-FSS is currently fabricating and delivering numerous oversized components for the project: 20 heavy double columns – each weighing 40,000 to 110,000 lbs.; 55 heavy single columns – each weighing 18,000 to 60,000 lbs.; 13 floor trusses, each weighing 30,000 to 60,000 lbs.; three complete complex end caps made of multiple different rolled or curved radius pieces; and 22 heavy crossover beams.

The complexity of this enormous project has been doubly challenging, with a compact delivery schedule and tight site constraints. The jobsite’s location within an active cruise terminal has required very precise deliveries called “Just in Time - To the Hook Delivery.” With lengths measuring as much as 100’ and the extreme weights of the fabricated members, specialized shipping equipment has been required. The busy cruise terminal traffic has had to be completely stopped to allow for the slow moving, heavy and oversized
loads.

With the steel work slated for completion this summer, this stunning cruise terminal should be in full operation by early 2020. TTI-FSS is very proud to serve as a major player on this “extreme” project team.
