Project Overview
Galvanized steel handrails installed on both sides of the concrete steps connecting a parking lot to the walkway at a commercial property.
Analysis
The steps are the main pedestrian route from the lot, and salt and plowing take a toll on painted finishes. Galvanized steel was the durable choice.
Process
Measure, fabricate, galvanize, install outside business hours, and verify rail heights.
Outcome
A rust-free, high-traffic handrail set that can stay untreated for years.
Project Details
Materials Used
Hot-dip galvanized steel posts and rails with vertical bar infill, base plates, and mechanical anchors into the concrete.
Methods & Techniques
Posts anchored at the top and bottom of the run, rails pitched to the steps, field cuts coated with galvanizing repair.
Key Highlights
Hot-dip galvanized, parking-lot traffic rated, both sides of the run, off-hours install
