What is the most unusual challenge you have helped solve on a project and how did you navigate it?

I was working on a project that had a tricky railing connection at a concrete curb. I talked with senior engineers who gave me some different solutions to try to get the capacity to where it needed to be. It also opened the door to learn more about where the loading requirements come from and how to improve my engineering judgement.
