Quote Your Project Installations Upside Innovations’ stair and covered walkway installation at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard. An IBC-compliant stairway to a second-story entrance, connected by a covered, elevated walkway. This installation provides a sheltered path for workers moving between buildings, ensuring safety and protection from the elements at this vital facility for U.S. Navy ship construction and repair in Portsmouth, Virginia. This showcases the installation of an Upside Innovation rooftop stair product at a commercial site in Providence, RI. It was professionally installed by a local roofing contractor using non-penetrating rooftop mounts. This technique is particularly crucial as it ensures the structural integrity of the building remains uncompromised during and after installation. Such installations offer improved access to rooftop spaces and can significantly enhance the functionality of commercial buildings. The stair product itself integrates seamlessly with the existing infrastructure, demonstrating the potential of well-designed and effectively installed architectural solutions.

From the time they were pulled off the delivery truck, the stairs were assembled, stood up, and lag bolted into the floor in under 1 hour. We really couldn’t be happier with the whole experience we have had with Upside Innovations. Plus, the stairs are much sturdier than I had even hoped for.
