Our Case Studies

In addition to the work called for on the engineer's Local Law 11 plans and specifications, each area had to be inspected with the engineer for additional work. Given the myriad of buildings constructed over the years, scaffold equipment had to be set up and moved to each location multiple times.

Some locations proved to be very difficult due to tight areas and limited space. Obstacles had to be removed and reinstalled. Not all the buildings were accessible from all the roofs, and work in some sections had to be done under strict time restrictions due to patient care. In all cases, hospital operations could not be impeded.

Careful planning with Hospital management determined which areas would be scaffolded first and where the crew would move next, so the transfer of equipment was efficient and downtime minimal.

Field-inspection rounds with the engineer during the work captured additional repairs that were not visible at bid time, and we adjusted sequencing in real time to keep pace with the hospital's 24/7 operations.

Local Law 11 repairs: rebuilding the parapet walls for two terraces, control joint caulking, lintel replacement, brick replacement, repointing, stucco repairs, concrete and coping repairs, large sill replacement, window repairs, decorative stone repairs using Cathedral Stone, and metal cladding repairs.
