Our Emergency Response Process
- Dispatch and phone triage: share photos or video, location and site access instructions.
- Make safe and stabilize: cordon the area, install temporary shoring or bracing if required.
- Assess damage: check member capacity, connections and finishes; identify root cause.
- Repair or replace: weld repairs, splice plates, new posts, base plates or infill sections.
- Quality and documentation: visual inspection, measurements and photos for strata, insurers or the authority having jurisdiction.
Code, Safety and Compliance
Repairs follow good practice for guard heights, stair nosings, spacing and live load requirements. For structural items we can coordinate with a BC licensed engineer for review and signoff when required. Our crews work with confined space, fall protection and hot work permits when applicable.

- Vancouver core and North Shore: same day for urgent hazards, within a few hours when crews are available.
- West Vancouver, Deep Cove, Horseshoe Bay: same day or next day depending on access and weather.

Preventive Maintenance
- Annual inspection of stairs, railings, gates and bollards
- Tightening of anchors and hardware
- Touch up of coatings and corrosion spots
- Adjustment of hinges, closers and latches
