Project Requirements & Challenges

Industry-Specific Requirements

In the construction industry, especially in a city like Chicago with its extreme weather variations, projects like this require materials and solutions that can withstand temperature fluctuations, moisture, and heavy use. Our approach had to account for these factors to ensure the staircase's longevity.

Challenges

One of the main challenges was the extent of rust and corrosion, which threatened the staircase's structural integrity. Additionally, working within a tight timeline to minimize disruption to the building's residents required meticulous planning and execution.

Implementation Complexities

The project's location on a busy street in Chicago added logistical challenges, including coordinating with local authorities for necessary permits and ensuring the safety of both our team and the public during the restoration process.

Solutions & Innovations

Solutions

Our team employed advanced rust removal techniques and selected a high-performance protective coating specifically designed for metal structures in harsh climates. This approach not only addressed the immediate issues but also provided a durable solution against future wear and tear.

Quality Assurance

Every step of the process was closely monitored to ensure the highest standards of quality and safety. From the selection of materials to the application of the protective coating, our team adhered to strict industry benchmarks.
