Customers brief:
To provide Stairway access for maintenance personnel to rooftop plant.
Our client, a leading installer of Fall protection equipment was working with a global biopharma to provide safe access for maintenance personnel to their roof top Mechanical & Electrical plant.
The rooftop on their Slough based facility was covered in M&E plant and equipment which requires a program of regular maintenance & inspection. To get across the roof from point of access to area of work, meant traversing numerous ducts, pipework and cabling - all of which presented potential fall or trip hazards to the maintenance teams.
What we supplied:
We worked with the customer to design, in accordance with BS 6375 a range of standard stairs & step units that could be supplied in “Kit” form for their installation on site.
Each kit comprises a range of standard components, these components allow us to economically manufacture a complete range stair & step units, which can then be palletised and shipped to site for lifting to roof level.
With approximately 20 stair / step / plant access platforms to install the customer appreciated this standardised approach to each element as once the method of construction was learnt on the first stair, this process could be repeated on each successive unit.
