Strategic retail buildings
The Mr. Precio stores in Algarrobos and Veracruz are examples of modern retail infrastructure in Panama. Both were designed with high-capacity steel structures for safety, flexibility and an efficient build.
Rigid frames and steel trusses
- Robust steel structures designed for static and dynamic loads.
- Rigid frames and trusses that span long distances without intermediate supports.
- A layout adapted to the functional and architectural needs of each store.
Digital engineering and coordination
- ETABS for seismic and wind analysis.
- IDEA StatiCa to check critical steel connections.
- Tekla Structures for steel shop drawings and takeoffs that streamlined fabrication and erection.
- A BIM workflow that combined architecture, structure and MEP in one model and avoided field clashes.
Results
Both stores were delivered as safe, functional retail spaces that balance structural performance, architecture and constructability, a clear example of ADIPSA’s steel detailing and BIM work on commercial buildings.
