Residential Steel Beam Installation in Glenview

Structural Reinforcement Project in Glenview

Project Overview

AggoPro Construction and Engineering recently completed a critical structural reinforcement project in Glenview, IL, addressing a sagging floor in a residential property. This project underscores our expertise in structural engineering and construction management, ensuring long-term stability and safety for the homeowner.

• Location: Greenwood Rd., Glenview, IL
• Duration: February 22, 2025 - March 22, 2025
• Project Type: Structural Design
• Industry: Construction

Our team was tasked with installing a steel beam and posts to lift and stabilize the sagging floor, a common issue in older homes. This project not only improved load distribution but also enhanced the overall structural integrity of the property.

Project Scope

The project involved a comprehensive assessment of the existing structure, followed by the design and installation of a custom steel beam and supporting posts. The scope included:

• Structural Assessment: Detailed inspection to identify the root cause of the sagging floor.
• Design Phase: Engineering a solution that would provide optimal support without compromising the home's aesthetics.
• Installation: Precise placement of the steel beam and posts to ensure even load distribution.

Key Project Elements:

• Steel Beam Installation: The backbone of the project, ensuring the floor's stability.
• Post Placement: Strategically placed to support the beam and distribute weight evenly.
• Load Testing: Post-installation tests to verify the structure's integrity.

Project Requirements & Challenges

Industry-Specific Requirements

Structural reinforcement projects require adherence to strict building codes and engineering standards. Our team ensured all work met local Glenview regulations and industry best practices.
