Interior vertical columns are enclosed within steel "sleeves" that allow the original columns to rise as they lift the roof. The sleeves remain in place to provide new and stronger lower support.
|
|
|
Perimeter columns are fitted with additional telescoping "lifting columns" that raise the roof perimeter and remain as integral parts of the lifted, strengthened structure.

Wrap vertical columns with support "sleeves"

Attach "lifting columns" to
perimeter columns

Proprietary E-Z Riser collars, clamps, and hydraulic lifting mechanisms are installed at each prepared column. This system avoids the need for temporary shoring and the resulting floor damage. The building is never separated from its foundation and is never subjected to instability.

Install lifting equipment; separate walls from roof

Local contractors disconnect sprinkler riser, and install temporary extensions of lighting, power, HVAC, and drainage lines, allowing these utilities to remain uninterrupted during lifting.

The current structure has 16' clear height. After analysis, investment proposal, and procedural plan is developed the goal of a new usable height of 30' or more can begin.
|
Insulated steel paneling is installed to enclose the newly created height, if requested. This wall system provides an attractive exterior finish and a light-reflective interior surface. The paneling provides long-term durability and energy-saving thermal insulation.

A new clear height of 30' or more adds tremendous value to the property
which can be combined with optional paneling.
TA DA! 14 or more feet of additional useable storage height is now availabel
