Alteration Projects in Occupied High-Rise Buildings

摘要

Over the life of a high-rise building, an existing structure may undergo major alterations/renovations for one or more floors while the remaining occupancy floors conduct normal business. New Jersey regulations describe an alteration reconstruction project as any work that reduces the load-bearing capacity of or that imposes additional loads on a primary structural component. A renovation project is the removal and replacement of existing interior or exterior finish, trim, doors, windows, or other materials with new materials that do not change the configuration of space.
