Heavy Lift Operation Removes Steel Stair Flight at 639 Cleveland Street

Steel stair section removed during interior demolition. — The suspended stair section is guided away from the structure during removal.

A coordinated lift operation removes a large steel stair flight from 639 Cleveland Street as crews advance interior demolition within the three-story structure. Using a telehandler and carefully positioned rigging, workers suspend and guide the stair assembly away from the existing steel frame. The controlled removal clears the interior for the next phase of renovation while preserving access around the building.
