FLOATING PUMP
An expansive space that will straddle LA’s famed Wilshire Boulevard, the project will feature 110,000 square feet of gallery space in one single level to display and present art in a non-hierarchical, egalitarian way. As part of the new building, Clark will construct a new theater, education spaces, three restaurants, a museum shop, multi-purpose event spaces, and ancillary and back-of-house facilities.
The California Building for the Permanent Collection is slated to open to the public in 2024.

FLOATING PUMP
For this job, MINING MART was tasked with designing a floating pump setup from scratch. Using a mix of reference drawings and site snaps, we crafted a solid, compliant structure that could cop the real-world conditions without breaking a sweat. It was all about smart design, Aussie standards, and working closely with the client every step of the way.
What Went Down
- Design from the Ground Up: Kicked off the concept in SolidWorks, crafting the full pump structure with flexibility and precision.
- Standards-Driven Engineering: Stuck to Australian pipe standards and crunched the numbers to make sure the design could handle the load.
- Back-and-Forth with the Client: Worked closely with the client, adjusting the design as needed to meet evolving site needs.
- Strength Where It Counts: Added gussets in high-stress spots to beef up the durability and handle the heavy work.
- Final Design, Ready to Roll: Once all checks were done and dusted, we released the final drawings for fabrication and install.
