EVENT DETAIL

The presentation will be given by Troy Bishop, P.E., G.C. As a licensed Florida Professional Engineer and General Contractor, Troy Bishop's passion for helping people has allowed him to successfully handle leadership responsibilities throughout his career while his technical expertise in high-velocity hurricane environments has garnered him praise with national clientele. In 2015 he founded Axiom Structures to assist architects, contractors, and the general public with field inspection reports of in-progress construction, value-engineered structural designs, and project development. He has broad experience in numerous aspects of physical design and building, renovations, inspections, technology implementation, and design efficiency. His direct familiarity with investors, owners, architects, manufacturers, contractors, and building officials has given him skill not only as a forward-thinking entrepreneur, but as a consulting professional who can understand and work through the complications of designing and building in South Florida.

 

Troy Bishop was a responder in the Keys performing damage assessment following Hurricane Irma. This presentation will review the causes and signs of structural damage from hurricanes and hurricane force winds, examine structural failure modes noted after the Hurricane Irma, and discuss the first deployment of the SEER program in Florida following Hurricane Irma.
