Novelis Corporation
Bay Minette, Alabama
The Novelis facility includes multiple industrial crane buildings comprising over 14,000 tons of structural steel, developed to support large-scale aluminum manufacturing operations. Retained by Arab International Contractors, Innova provided connection design and constructability review services across five major construction sequences. Many connection geometries fell outside standard AISC prescriptive details, requiring advanced analytical modeling using IDEA StatiCa software. Our team engineered compliant, buildable solutions that supported heavy crane loads, complex load paths, and accelerated construction schedules.
