Our team replaced a 150-inch-tall tempered glass panel in a live hotel environment using specialized rigging and zero disruption to guest operations.

‍

Ramos Industries was brought in to replace a damaged oversized glass panel at the Omni Hotel — one of downtown LA’s premier hospitality destinations. This wasn’t a simple swap. The job required early-morning coordination, expert rigging, and precise installation inside an active, guest-facing environment.

‍

🔍 Project Overview

• Location: Omni Hotel, Downtown Los Angeles
• Glass Size: Approx. 57” x 150”
• Type: ½” clear tempered glass with pre-drilled holes
• Mounting: Existing custom steel bracket system
• Completion: Same-day install, next-day caulking

‍

🛠️ Scope of Work

The team arrived on-site at 4:00 AM to begin staging and perimeter protection inside the hotel lobby. Our priority was to minimize disruption while maintaining full safety compliance. After securing the area and applying safety film to the broken panel, the team carefully removed the glass and prepped the opening.

The new panel was installed using a combination of:

• (2) 20’ scissor lifts
• (1) URW295 Spyder crane
• (1) Woods Power Cup MRT4 vacuum lifter‍
  

The install was executed with precision, navigating around a large metal art sculpture directly in front of the glass wall. By 11:00 AM, the area was clean, clear, and guest-ready again. We returned the following day to caulk all joints without interfering with hotel operations or crossing into overtime.

⚙️ Technical Challenges

• The height of the panel and limited ceiling clearance made it difficult for the Spyder crane to align the suction lifter correctly.
• Tight coordination was required to avoid contact with the permanent sculpture.
• Our team mounted the new glass into existing custom steel brackets, ensuring a seamless fit with no changes to the hardware or anchor system.

💡 Why It Matters

Glass replacement in active hospitality environments demands more than just manpower. It requires logistics planning, after-hours coordination, and a deep understanding of how to protect the client’s space, timeline, and public experience.

That’s what we do best.
