Featured Project Case Study
Commercial Retrofit
Chicago, IL
Rescue & Re-Engineering: 120 N. Carpenter St.
The Challenge
A previous contractor incorrectly installed 300 linear feet of glass railing before going out of business, leaving a critical safety hazard stories above the Chicago streets. The original system failed to meet structural wind-load requirements.
Our Solution
Chicago Glass Company stepped in to perform a complete forensic engineering review. We re-engineered the drawings to meet strict code requirements. Our team removed the unsafe glass, installed a robust new shoe base system, and glazed it with heavy-duty laminated safety glass.
The Outcome
A railing system that is now "solid as a rock" against the Windy City's gusts, restoring both safety and high-end aesthetics to this premier property.
