As part of an office renovation project, ESD Solutions provided full detailing for a single run steel stair with glass railing, along with structural framing to support a new opening in the concrete floor slab.
Our scope included:
- Detailing steel framing to support the stair and opening
- Anchoring beams into existing slabs and concrete columns
- Ensuring the stair’s modern, open design met both architectural and structural needs
This project required balancing visual simplicity with complex on-site logistics.
The Challenge:
Bringing large structural beams into an occupied office building came with obvious delivery challenges:
- Splice plate detailing had to be accurate to the millimeter to avoid field adjustments
- Full-length beams couldn’t be brought in due to size restrictions
- All beams had to be spliced into smaller segments and reassembled on-site
Our Expertise:
Our team meticulously modeled each component, accounting for:
- Accurate splice connections
- Anchoring points within the existing structure
- Seamless structural support for the stair and the glass railing system
The single run steel stair with glass railing was detailed to allow the fabricator to pre-assemble most components while keeping site installation clean and efficient.
The Result:
The stair and steel supports for a new opening came together as planned, with every beam fitting perfectly. It’s a great example of how precise miscellaneous steel detailing ensures that structural integrity meets logistical demands for complex office renovations.
