• Location: Wood St., Chicago
• Duration: April 6, 2023 - April 20, 2023
• Project Type/Category: Staircases
• Industry-Specific Details: Commercial property maintenance
• Scale/Scope Indicators: Replacement of 12 metal stair steps with custom-fabricated steel components

AggoPro's dual expertise in engineering and construction allowed us to deliver a solution that not only addressed the immediate safety concerns but also enhanced the staircase's overall durability. Our client, a commercial property management firm, relied on our ability to execute the project with minimal disruption to the building's operations.

Project Scope

The project's primary objective was to replace damaged metal stair steps with new, custom-fabricated steel steps that would ensure long-term durability and safety. The scope included a thorough inspection of the existing staircase, removal of the damaged steps, fabrication of new steps, and their precise installation.

Key Project Elements:

• Inspection and Assessment: Conducted a detailed inspection to identify all damaged components and assess the overall structural integrity of the staircase.
• Custom Fabrication: Fabricated new metal stair steps using high-quality steel to match the existing design and load requirements.
• Precise Installation: Installed the new steps with precision to ensure perfect alignment and stability.
• Safety Enhancements: Added non-slip treads to improve safety for daily use.

Project Requirements & Challenges

Industry-Specific Requirements

Commercial staircases must comply with stringent safety and building codes, including load-bearing capacity and slip resistance. Our solution had to meet these requirements while also aligning with the property's aesthetic and functional needs.

Challenges

The primary challenge was executing the project without disrupting the building's daily operations. Additionally, the existing staircase's design required custom fabrication to ensure the new steps would fit perfectly.

Implementation Complexities

Coordinating the fabrication and installation within a tight timeline was complex, requiring precise scheduling and coordination with the fabrication team and on-site personnel.

Solutions & Innovations

Solutions

We developed a phased approach that allowed for the removal and replacement of steps in sections, minimizing disruption. Custom fabrication ensured the new steps matched the existing design perfectly.

Quality Assurance

Each step was inspected for quality before installation, and the entire staircase was tested for stability and safety post-installation.

Performance Optimization

We optimized the installation process by pre-assembling components off-site, reducing on-site labor time and improving efficiency.

Outcomes & Impact

Project Results

The project was completed on time and within budget, with all new steps installed to the highest standards of quality and safety.

Client Benefits

The client benefited from a safer, more durable staircase that meets all regulatory requirements, with minimal disruption to their operations.

Industry Impact

This project demonstrates AggoPro's capability to handle complex structural repairs in commercial settings, reinforcing our reputation as a leader in construction and engineering services in Chicago.
