Gold: A2 Fabrication Inc.

Title of Entry: Pier and Promenade Railing

Finish Type: Bead blasted, with galvanized promenade rails

Total Labor Hours: 2973

Materials: 2 1/2" pipe top rail, Pl 1/2" laser cut stanchions, 1 1/4" pipe horizontal frame parts, 1" pipe vertical frame parts, and Carl Stahl Extend2 netting.

This exceptional project was a formidable undertaking on many levels.

Of the 2624 hours of total fabrication time, half was spent on sewing on the netting. A special carriage had to be built to transport the SS side mounted rails in an upright position, and the pier rails were craned into place after the holes were laid out, drilled and epoxy anchors set on the pier’s edge. Unique layout and drilling fixtures were also required, in order to ensure total accuracy.

There was also the challenge of field measuring and detailing the transition from side mounted pier SS rails to surface mounted, galvanized promenade rails.

The breathtaking results are a testament to the hard work, dedication and talent of every member on the team.
