Steel Bulkhead Installation Video

The heavy-duty metal Bilco bulkhead is installed using a crane to lower the bulkhead frame onto the pre-cast concrete stairs. The crew from S. T. Griswold drills pilot holes in the concrete and bolts the heavy gauge steel frame onto it. Finally they install the doors and the latching hardware and the bulkhead is finished. Security from intruders and snow loads is one of the key features of this system.
