The Challenge
The Palms Casino, a premier hotel and entertainment destination near the Las Vegas Strip, features extensive glass surfaces and intricate architectural designs that require regular maintenance and cleaning. The primary challenge was providing a safe suspended access system for window cleaners without interfering with a public patio where guests frequently gathered. Additionally, the tall decorative glass guardrail along the perimeter of the roof complicated the rigging of suspension lines. The client also required an aesthetically discreet solution, ensuring that safety equipment would not be visible from the public areas.
The Solution
In order to provide solutions for the client, Diversified Fall Protection designed and installed removable wall anchors that were seamlessly concealed within the existing structure. Additionally, a custom-pinned, telescoping outrigger beam was developed to extend 7 to 21 feet from the wall anchors, allowing safe access over the decorative glass guardrail. This innovative system ensured that window cleaning operations could be conducted safely while preserving the casino’s architectural aesthetics. The outrigger beam was also designed for easy disassembly and off-site storage when not in use.
Diversified was able to resolve all the concerns presented by the general contractor, employing extensive customizations for the outrigging system, completing this project on time. The considerable amount of glass on the Palms Casino can now be safely cleaned without anchorages and rigging equipment obstructing the views
