Case study

Copperspring Amenity Center

A timber and steel gem on the west coast of Florida.

Request a quote

In 2019 Timberplates was contacted to fabricate a set of galvanized steel components for the Copperspring Amenity Center in New Port Richey, Florida. With hundreds of shop-hours over four weeks of development, it was a large project, but one we were confident we could handle.

01 Design

From vision to reality

Timberplates connectors made their vision a reality.

02 Ready for galvanizing

14,000 lbs of steel

Timberplates coordinated everything with the galvanizer. We attached custom-made steel tags that could survive the galvanizing process to help the contractor identify each component.

In all, the project required more than 14,000 lbs of 1/4" and 1/2" steel, 13,000 holes, 65 yards of welds, and over 1000 individual plate components. We are proud to say there was not a single fitment issue on the project.
