The base nodes each weigh over 4,000-pounds and brace the structure against wind, seismic, and blast loading.

The design of the cast steel column base also ensures the component will provide a 2-hour fire resistance rating without the need for intumescent coating of the casting. CAST CONNEX Universal Pin Connectors™ + Architectural Tapers™ were also used in the AESS frames and trusses.
