Stairs Rehabilitation – Regina, SK

Description: The intent of this project is to replace the exterior stairs of the AB Perry building on the east side. The stairs will require complete removal and rebuild due to deteriorating concrete and code deficiencies. The stairs were part of the original construction and are used on a year round basis. Various products have been used to remove ice in the winter and keep the stairs clear of water, snow and ice, and over time has deteriorated original stairs. The exterior stairs were constructed using cast in place concrete and then the stairs were covered in terra-cotta style tiles. Stone wing walls flank the stairs. Steel handrails were added to the wing walls in 1986. Construction will consist of removing the stair system from the sub-structure and installing an upgraded stair assembly including concrete piles and foundation suitable to the fascade with granite stair treads designed to include the appropriate color/contrast and measurements to meet the NBC. This option also includes the removal of the hand rails from the stone wing walls and installing new code compliant stainless steel hand rails directly onto the stairs.
