Hanover Parking Garage
How DDM Steel enhanced the safety and aesthetics of Novartis Pharmacy's parking garage with custom aluminum rails.
The Challenge
Novartis, with a significant presence in East Hanover, NJ, selected DDM Steel for the renovation of their pharmacy's parking garage radius stair rails. The project required precision in designing, fabricating, and installing radiused picket rails within an existing structure.
One of the main challenges was ensuring the new radiused rails would fit perfectly within the existing structure, especially with the new curb structure, requiring precise field measurements and multiple site visits.
Our Approach
DDM Steel adopted a meticulous approach to ensure precision and quality in every step of the project. This included comprehensive planning and coordination with Novartis and other trades involved in the renovation.
To guarantee accuracy, DDM Steel conducted multiple site visits for detailed field measurements and used a mock stair system during fabrication to ensure the radiused rails would fit perfectly.
The collaboration with Chicago Metal Rollers for curving the aluminum pipe and the close monitoring of the fabrication process further ensured that the final installation would meet the high standards expected by Novartis.
