PVS spent the last week celebrating the end of summer with a horseshoe tournament and our annual Summer Sizzler.

We had 13 teams for horseshoes this year, that’s 26 employees! Games were played during the week, and competition was fierce! Our first place winners were Mike Becker and Mark Beccard. Followed closely by Emiley Ryckman and Mario Moreno. Our winners received a cash prize, trophy and bragging rights!

On Tuesday, September 27th, all employees met for a cookout to finish out the summer weather. Everyone walked away happy and very full!

Congratulations to our horseshoe winners and THANK YOU to all of our employees for your dedication and hard work!

PVS Structures is thrilled to be a part of another big project downtown. Omaha’s Joslyn Art Museum will be closed for 2 years during renovations.  The addition to the museum was designed by Snohetta and Alley Poyner Machietto Architecture.  This building is being designed with a modern flair to include swooping roof lines with interior and exterior art-based architecture.  The 876 tons of structural steel does not include additional 172 tons of steel in a grand staircase and skylights that will be diffused by a sculpted ceiling resembling waves framed in steel.

PVS is also involved in the connection design of the large trusses on the project. We are excited to see the final results!
