Hundreds of AT/FP-rated windows and doors were installed across multiple historic federal buildings.
JS Global served as prime contractor for two multi-year programs that fabricated and installed hundreds of AT/FP-rated windows and doors in occupied historic federal buildings in Washington, DC, much of it at night, on weekends, and on holidays.
Window assemblies weighed 750 pounds or more, and some units reached 1,000 pounds.
As prime contractor, JS Global fabricated and installed AT/FP-rated windows and doors with structural upgrades in steel, aluminum, and composite materials. The work took place in fully occupied buildings, where the occupants’ missions set the schedule.
Lift window units weighing 750 to 1,000 pounds into historic openings from exterior scaffolding.
Remove asbestos-containing caulk and lead paint from historic stone and frames safely.
Adapt the schedule on short notice as occupant needs changed.
Move people and deliveries through badging, off-site screening, and secure perimeters.
Every person on the project received federal security badges, and deliveries were inspected off-site before entering the secure perimeter.
Temporary barriers, staged access, and controlled delivery logistics kept occupants and visitors safe.
Asbestos-containing caulk and lead paint were removed under approved procedures and industrial hygiene oversight.
Engineered scaffolding with anti-climb mesh and integrated lifting handled the heavy units.
In-house crews installed frames, glazing, and hardware, along with finish work and intrusion detection infrastructure.
Hundreds of AT/FP-rated windows and doors were installed across multiple historic federal buildings.
Historic stone and metal frames were repaired, cleaned, and finished as part of the work.
Work continued in buildings whose occupants could not stop operating, often at night and on weekends.
JS Global adjusted its schedule repeatedly to meet changing occupant needs.
Occupant schedules changed, and the team changed with them.
JS Global’s own tradespeople handled frames, glazing, hardware, finish work, electrical, and intrusion detection infrastructure, which helped the team adjust the sequence of work when occupant needs shifted.
Practical answers about ratings, weight, and working around occupants.
Share the building, unit sizes, security rating, access rules, and occupant constraints. JS Global will help plan the fabrication, lifting, and schedule around the people inside.
