Baylor All Saints IR Renovation Reinforcement
Baylor All Saints IR reinforcement coordinated for positive moment, negative moment and shear as a distinct clinical renovation scope.
Delta Structural Technology completed reinforcement associated with the Baylor All Saints IR renovation. The project formed one of two adjacent clinical renovations coordinated through The Christman Company. Its composite scope had to remain distinct from the neighboring Spec-CT renovation and account for the complete structural requirement shown on the applicable drawings.

Project challenge
The engineering review identified both positive and negative moment requirements as well as shear. An initial material take-off addressed only shear, so the proposed reinforcement scope required further review before it could represent the full design. At the same time, the two neighboring renovations needed separate designs and material packages rather than a combined or interchangeable estimate.
Project approach
Delta reviewed the FRP take-off against the supplied structural drawings and identified the need to include the moment requirements alongside shear. The team requested revised design and material information separately for the IR and Spec-CT projects. This process linked the composite package to the actual structural demands for each renovation and prevented a shear-only interpretation from defining the entire strengthening scope.
Delivery and coordination
The Christman Company provided the renovation drawings and requested pricing for the adjacent projects. Delta coordinated the reinforcement review with Fyfe engineering and material representatives. The correspondence explicitly distinguished the IR scope from the Spec-CT scope, making project separation a substantive coordination issue. The IR design required its own reinforcement layout and material review within the larger clinical renovation effort.
Project significance
The Baylor All Saints IR project illustrates the importance of checking a composite take-off against every required structural action. Its distinguishing feature is the review of positive moment, negative moment and shear within an adjacent-project setting. The case highlights engineering coordination as part of defining a complete and correctly assigned strengthening package.
