CASE STUDIES
CASE 1:
LARGE SHOPPING CENTER
Challenge: There was a railing accident where the railing on the third floor collapsed, killing one person and injuring another person. DPP (Building Department) issued a Notice of Violation due to metal corrosion and concrete spalling. The railings were corroding and the concrete spalling did not comply with current building codes and safety regulations. The property owner needed a reliable solution that would enhance the safety and aesthetics of the shopping center while minimizing disruption to the ongoing operations.
Solution: Lance Luke's Railing Experts conducted a thorough assessment of the existing railing system and proposed a comprehensive solution. This included designing and fabricating custom railings that met all applicable building codes and safety standards. The new railings were made from durable materials, designed for maximum strength and stability, and featured a modern and attractive design that complemented the shopping center's aesthetics.
Results: The installation of the new railing system greatly improved the safety and appearance of the shopping center, providing a secure and visually appealing barrier for shoppers and employees.
CASE 2:
CONDOMINIUM BUILDING
Challenge: A 40-year-old, 40-story high-rise building had corroded railings, posing significant safety risks to residents and visitors. The condo association needed immediate assistance in investigating the problem and implementing a solution.
Solution: Lance Luke was called upon to conduct a thorough inspection and investigation. Our team of experts conducted a detailed inspection of the failed railing system, analyzed the root cause of the problem, and identified deficiencies in the design, maintenance, and installation of the railings. Based on our findings, we proposed a comprehensive solution that involved redesigning and fabricating new railings that met all applicable building codes and safety regulations and implementing enhanced inspection and maintenance protocols.
Results: The condo association implemented the proposed solution, and the new railings were installed in the common area lanais of the condominium complex. The redesigned railings were made from high-quality materials, designed to withstand the specific environmental conditions of the location, and installed using industry best practices. The enhanced inspection and maintenance protocols were also implemented, ensuring that the railings were regularly inspected and properly maintained. As a result, the safety of residents and visitors in the condominium complex was significantly improved, and the condo association saw a reduction in liability risks associated with concrete spalling and railing collapses.
CASE 3:
APARTMENT BUILDING
Challenge: An older apartment building experienced a railing wall collapse. Extensive concrete spalling was noted in the common areas, including walkways and staircases. The existing railings were unsafe, did not comply with current building codes and safety regulations, and posed safety risks to residents and visitors. The property owner needed major repairs that would ensure the safety of the residents while meeting the aesthetic requirements of the property.
Solution: Lance Luke conducted a visual assessment of the apartment building's outdoor common areas and proposed a fix.
Results: The various concrete spalling repairs greatly improved the safety and visual appeal of the apartment building's outdoor common areas, providing residents and visitors with a secure and attractive environment.
