The Ascent™ Up & Over Step Unit was specified on this famous Sheffield landmark building to provide maintenance workers with safe access around the rooftop.
The Client:
Sheffield Central Library is the city’s largest library and also houses the Graves Art Gallery.
The building was constructed in 1929 in the Art Deco style and is located at a prominent location within the city.
The Challenge:
Maintenance personnel required safe passage between the various roof areas of the library.
The Solution:
The supplied Ascent™ Up & Over Step Unit was galvanised and powder-coated black to match the existing roof steelwork.
Open grillage of the step over unit created a free draining, anti-slip walking surface.
With a guardrail supplied on both sides, this protected users falling from the step over unit.
Adjustable support feet on the step over unit allowed for final on-site levelling and a non-penetrative support system for the stair, ensuring the waterproof integrity of the roof surface was not compromised.
The step over unit was delivered flat packed with comprehensive installation instructions.
Ascent™ Up & Over Step Units are designed in line with BS EN ISO 14122-1 & 3:2016 and manufactured in our Sheffield facility in compliance with BS EN 1090 CE manufacturing standards, ensuring the product’s quality and safety.
