Silver Branch Brewing Co.

Silver Branch owners fell in love with a location in downtown Silver Spring, MD because of its proximity to the DC metro, space directly to a large plaza shared with other retail and office buildings and surrounding population density. Only two huge problems to overcome: the plaza level where the brewery was proposed was actually the third story of the building and the floor below was occupied by another tenant! TEC developed a solution to install a new floating floor above the existing framed level connected directly to the columns once, through analysis, that the columns and foundations had the capacity to support the 20,000 lb 45 bbl fermenters. The brewery successfully opened in the late winter of 2019.
