The Mezzanine Lakes Wall at MSP Airport is a testament to precision and craftsmanship. Crafted with precision, the wall is constructed using solid radiused steel bars meticulously supplied by BPS Incorporated. These bars are expertly welded into place, enhancing the structural integrity of the entire installation.


We also installed an exquisite railing system that needed to follow an elliptical floor plate, that included a handrail that required following the elliptical shape, and have 1” thick tempered laminated glass act as pickets. These glass pickets were narrow and had a complex geometric shape.๏ปฟ
