On a project like Lawrence Square Shopping Centre, glass balustrade installation comes with added pressure — heavy materials, strict safety requirements, and the need to maintain clean visual sight lines in a high-traffic public environment.

The general contractor needed a glazing partner who could handle complex installation logistics, meet Ontario Building Code (OBC) requirements, and deliver a clean, consistent finish without introducing risk to the project.

Our team managed the installation of 30 mm thick glass balustrades, using a spider crane within the mall to safely and precisely position each panel. Working with glass of this scale required detailed planning, controlled execution, and close coordination to ensure both safety and accuracy throughout the install.

How we delivered a controlled, compliant installation:

• Utilized a spider crane for safe handling and placement of heavy 30 mm glass panels

• Planned lifts and staging to work efficiently within an active mall environment

• Precise installation to meet Ontario Building Code (OBC) requirements

• Careful alignment to maintain clean, consistent sight lines throughout

The result:

• Safe installation with no incidents

• Passed OBC inspection

• Clean, consistent visual finish across all railings

• Minimal deficiencies at completion

The finished installation delivers both safety and aesthetics — but more importantly, it reflects a glazing partner capable of executing complex, high-risk scopes with precision and control.
