Architecture stands as a link to our past. It acts as a living time capsule; we’re never too far from the past when we stand in, or in front of a building. But, over time, their purposes change. For example, what used to be a bank could now be a bar. Or, what now is a restaurant could have been barber shop a mere fifty years ago. Whatever they used to be and whatever they are now, these walls from the past need to be maintained and brought up to modern standards. Such was the case with the Case-Mead Project in beautiful downtown Providence, Rhode Island. While crews were busy working, Strong Man was working to keep them safe.
Built in 1859, the Case-Mead building has housed many different operations over the years. From restaurants such as Nico Bella’s Family Restaurant to real-estate firms, this building has seen it all. The property now belongs to Paolino Properties, and renovations are transforming the upper level space into 44 microlofts while preserving the lower level eatery space. Strong Man was on site with our SBN-324 Safety and Debris Netting. Built to enclose scaffolding, create barrier fencing, establish a vision or wind barrier, or protect pedestrians and workers from debris, this 60% shade cloth/mesh is up to the job.
Jon Healy, President of Atlas Scaffolding & Equipment, Inc. chose Strong Man to enclose their scaffolding on the project with SBN-324. “Strong Man’s SBN-324 Safety and Debris Netting exceeded my expectations when it comes to safety,” says Healy. “The netting was easy to work with and kept workers and pedestrians safe on site. I’ll definitely be coming back to Strong Man for my future needs.”
