Safety Railing at UMSB Alexandria, VA

The project involves installing approximately 100 linear feet of removable safety railing on three sides. There are no existing rails to be removed. The railing system must comply with Federal OSHA codes, specifically withstanding a 200-pound concentrated load applied to the top rail in any downward or outward direction. To meet this requirement, industrial steel safety rails typically utilize Schedule 40 pipe, which is equivalent to 10-gauge to 12-gauge steel. The removable sections of the railing are specified to be between 5 and 8 feet long. This project likely falls under federal government RFPs for infrastructure or safety upgrades.
