This is a project design specification image related to a Design-Build contract opportunity for Fort Fremont Preserve in Beaufort County, South Carolina. The image depicts detailed railing specifications and installation requirements for the stairs and railings project. The visual shows dimensional drawings and construction details for the railing systems that will be installed at the historic fort site, illustrating the guardrail configurations, mounting specifications, and structural details necessary for safe pedestrian circulation along the fort battery.
