St. Elizabeth’s Center Revitalization, Washington DC

Work performed on St. Elizabeth’s Center Revitalization by Scaffold Resource was to design, furnish, install & remove a façade bracing system for the historic façade of the St.Elizabeth’s Center Campus.

The façade was braced over a mile long and ranges in elevation from 2 stories to 5 stories tall. Tilt-up wall braces were used on the 2 and 3-story conditions. Custom 4-story braces were fabricated on-site to brace the 4-story building.

Custom-fabricated towers were designed and fabricated off-site. Upon delivery, it was craned into place onto temporary footings. The lateral loading requirements are provided by the EOR. Our bracing system engaged the façade in approximately 400 points at multiple elevations. All walls were monitored for movement. Adjustment points were incorporated into the bracing design with the ability to make fine adjustments to each of the braces as needed in the event of any settlement.
