Lateral Load Testing Timelapse Video for Custom Glass Railing at Olympic & Hill – Ramos Industries Inc.

Industry Insights

At Ramos Industries Inc., we pride ourselves on delivering precision glazing systems that don’t just look stunning—they meet the most rigorous safety and compliance standards in the industry. Our recent lateral load test at the Olympic & Hill high-rise in Downtown Los Angeles is a perfect example of that commitment in action.

Working alongside Twining Consulting, we conducted a full-scale, on-site structural load test of our custom glass railing system, ensuring it meets both ASTM E2353 and ICC-ES AC439 standards. These tests simulate the real-world lateral forces that glass railings must endure in high-rise environments, making them crucial for long-term performance and code compliance.

The project was completed using CRL (C.R. Laurence) railing hardware and custom-fabricated glass from Glasswerks. As part of the Onni Group’s growing Downtown LA portfolio, Olympic & Hill demanded expert coordination, flawless execution, and minimal operational disruption—exactly what Ramos Industries delivers.
