In general, the work consists of: two existing elevators in Building 7 (which is called Building 5 in the original 1951 drawings) of the Southern Wisconsin Center in Union Grove, Wisconsin. The building is a three-story building with a basement, first floor, and an attic space above the north elevator shaft. The north elevator, (elevator #1), and all equipment will be demolished and replaced, while the south elevator, (elevator #2), will be demolished and decommissioned. The hydraulic jacks on both elevators will be removed. The bore holes will be cleaned out, filled with Bentonite and capped with concrete. The fire rating of the existing hoistway walls will be brought up to current code requirements by adding a 2-hour fire-resistance rated shaft wall assembly. The structure and floor slab at the top of the existing hoistway will also be brought up to current fire rating requirements by adding a fire-rated cap. The attic floor steel joists at the top of the hoistway will also be fire rated to code requirements.
