    The Chicago Museum of Science and Industry, “Science Storms”

    In March 2010, the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry opened the single largest interactive exhibit in the museum’s history.  Science Storms allows museum patrons to access chemistry and physics through dramatic natural phenomena.

    The TWT Group was involved during conceptual design and feasibility assessments and was instrumental in developing the experiment lists and designing the 62 exhibits.  The TWT Group developed facility interface documents, wrote all the exhibit RFP technical documents, supported the detailed design and construction phases and provided installation supervision through opening day of the Science Storms exhibits.

    Prototype Construction Vehicle

    A large home builder approached the TWT Group to design and develop a prototype construction vehicle to enable his next generation home fabrication strategy. From a clean sheet of paper, the TWT Group created the basic design of the “house mover” dual vehicle system along with a number of strategies and tools for integrating the vehicle with home fabrication, transportation, and installation. At least eight patents are pending for this innovative system.

    In addition to providing key design and engineering services, the TWT Group was asked to become the owner’s representative and technical supervisor during the detailed design and construction phases. As owner’s representative, the TWT Group provided technical management and direction for the vendor’s engineering group, and verified that vendor’s sub-systems and contractor’s deliverables complied with technical requirements, contract budget, and schedule milestones.

    Fabrication and assembly of the two vehicles has been completed. Testing and tuning of the vehicles will continue when the housing market is more favorable.
