Custom Stairwell Safety Solution for Downtown High-Rise
Project Overview:
In a high-rise, multi-use building project in downtown Austin, Texas, Swinerton GC required a safety solution to prevent individuals from jumping over stairwell openings to access restricted floors below. The unique challenge called for a system that could be securely installed within an active construction environment without compromising site efficiency or safety standards. Cisco-Eagle brought in WireCrafters to deliver a custom-designed wire partition system to enhance stairwell safety while aligning with the space's architectural and operational demands.
Customer Description
The customer needed a way to control access between floors, including office, residential, and parking levels. Since the stairwells connected all three areas, there was concern that someone could bypass security measures by jumping over the stair landing to reach a floor they weren’t authorized to enter. Our product was designed and installed to prevent people from jumping over the stairs so they can’t access the floor below. With strict separation between tenants, this solution was key to maintaining the integrity of the building’s access control strategy.
Why Choose WireCrafters?
WireCrafters was selected for this project because the team required a high-quality product to meet the demands of a complex, high-traffic environment. With multiple obstructions like pipes, columns, and handrails throughout the stairwell areas, the flexibility to adapt the wire partition system on-site was critical. WireCrafters delivered a clean, secure installation that met the space's functional and aesthetic demands. After seeing the results, the customer moved forward with plans to use the same solution in six to seven additional areas throughout the building, further reinforcing their confidence in the quality and performance of the product.
