Rife Provides Facilities Maintenance Services to Historic Government Building – The Sidney R. Yates Building

2014-sydneyyatesRife international was selected to provide repairs in the Historic Sidney Yates Building, located at 1400 Independence Ave, SW, Washington, DC. The scope involved providing custom repairs to hinges and pins in all the restrooms throughout the building. The original units had been in place for at least 25 years.

The Yates Building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. With this knowledge in hand, our team worked carefully and diligently to complete the repairs throughout the building, including all five floors and the basement level. Rife’s goal was to ensure maintenance of  the structural integrity of the stall units, while providing overall safety to the building occupants.

Rife was involved in the inspection and verification of the stall units that needed repairs.  The project was completed on time, within budget and within a safe environment. All work was performed after normal working hours and in accordance with the Standard Operating Process of the Building
