Project Requirements & Challenges

Industry-Specific Requirements

Rooftop deck installations in Chicago require meticulous planning to address weight distribution, wind resistance, and waterproofing. Our team conducted a thorough condition assessment to ensure the existing structure could support the new deck.

Challenges

One of the major challenges was integrating the deck with the building's existing structural framework without compromising its integrity. Additionally, the project timeline was tight, requiring efficient coordination between engineering and construction teams.

Implementation Complexities

Logistical challenges included transporting materials to the rooftop and ensuring minimal disruption to the building's residents during construction.

Solutions & Innovations

Solutions

To address the structural challenges, we designed a custom support system using helical piers, which provided the necessary stability without extensive modifications to the existing structure. For weather resistance, we selected high-quality composite decking materials known for their durability and low maintenance.

Quality Assurance

Our quality assurance process included regular inspections and testing to ensure all materials and installations met industry standards and client expectations.

Performance Optimization

We optimized the deck's performance by incorporating efficient drainage systems and selecting materials that offer superior resistance to moisture and temperature fluctuations.

Outcomes & Impact
