Client: Byam Shaw School of Art
Project: Dismantle existing stairs and replace with new
Location: London
Duration: 8 weeks
Completed: August 2011
Details: The two existing steel fire escape staircases on campus were suffering from damage, weathering and generally in a poor state. Morris Fabrications were required to carefully dismantle and remove from site the existing stairs and then replace with two new steel fire escape stairs.
The work had to be carefully planned due to term times, as well as access around the building.
Staircase 1 was 3 flights (ground to roof) with closed riser checker plate treads, infill bar balustrade plus landing and support posts.
Staircase 2 was 4 flights in total (roof to higher level roof) again with closed riser checker plate treads, infill bar balustrade plus landings and support posts.
Both stairs were galvanised to ensure a long life span.
