One Pacific Tower – Decorative Life Safety Railing Repair

At One Pacific Tower in downtown Seattle, ARW was engaged by the HOA to address loose and unsafe toprails on 88 decorative life safety railings. The original railings, installed by a defunct supplier, used stainless steel screws that had deteriorated over time due to bi-metal corrosion. Collaborating with a structural engineer, ARW diagnosed the issue and developed a repair solution that avoided full replacement. They replaced the corroded screws with durable through bolts, ensuring long-term safety and stability. This approach restored the railings’ structural integrity, minimized disruption for residents, and saved the HOA significant costs. The project showcases ARW’s ability to deliver innovative, cost-effective solutions for complex railing issues.
