• Location:Mohawk St., Chicago
• Duration:June 5, 2024 - July 20, 2024
• Project Type:Staircases
• Scale:Five buildings

This project stands out for its comprehensive approach to staircase reconstruction, combining demolition, structural support installation, and the use of high-quality composite materials. AggoPro's multidisciplinary expertise allowed us to address complex challenges efficiently, ensuring long-term structural integrity and compliance with stringent building codes.

Project Scope

The project's scope was extensive, covering the complete demolition of existing concrete stair steps and landings, followed by the installation of new steel supports and composite materials. Our objectives were to enhance safety, durability, and compliance with Chicago's building regulations.

Key Project Elements:

• Demolition and Removal:Safe and efficient demolition of all concrete stair steps and landings.
• Steel Support Installation:New steel supports were installed to ensure structural stability.
• Composite Materials:Durable composite steps and landing plates were used for longevity and corrosion resistance.
• Rust Grinding and Painting:Existing supporting channels were treated to prevent future rust.

Each element was critical to achieving the project's goals, with particular attention paid to the innovative use of composite materials for their durability and low maintenance requirements.

Project Requirements & Challenges

Industry-Specific Requirements

Chicago's building codes require stringent compliance for staircase construction, especially in multi-unit buildings. The project had to adhere to these regulations while ensuring the new structures could withstand the city's harsh weather conditions.

Challenges

One of the main challenges was the tight timeline, as the buildings remained occupied during construction. Additionally, the existing rusted supports required meticulous treatment to ensure the new installations would be secure and long-lasting.

Implementation Complexities

Coordinating the demolition and construction across five buildings without disrupting residents was a logistical challenge. Our team's expertise in project management and construction oversight was crucial in navigating these complexities.

Solutions & Innovations

Solutions

To address the timeline and logistical challenges, AggoPro implemented a phased construction approach, allowing work to proceed efficiently without significant disruption. The use of composite materials not only met building code requirements but also provided a cost-effective, long-term solution.

Quality Assurance

Every phase of the project underwent rigorous quality checks, from the demolition to the final installation of composite steps. Our team's attention to detail ensured that all work met AggoPro's high standards and client expectations.

Performance Optimization

The selection of composite materials was a key innovation, offering superior durability and resistance to Chicago's variable climate, reducing future maintenance needs and costs.

Outcomes & Impact

Project Results

The project was completed on schedule, with all five buildings receiving new, code-compliant staircases. The use of composite materials has significantly reduced the need for future repairs, providing lasting value.
