- Every stair is erected using the Advanced Guard Rail system providing a safe and efficient working environment.
- Using genuine Haki components can be built to heights over 160 metres.
- 3.05m x 1.65m footprint.
- The unique Haki hook-on design increases the speed of erection.
- Each stair tread and landing is non-slip and can be used across the range of stairs utilising existing components.
- The modular design simplifies the erection procedure.
Compact Stair Tower
- The Haki Compact Stair Tower has been designed for sites where space is at a premium.
- With a footprint of 2.5m x 1.25m the Haki Compact Stair Tower can fit into small spaces.
- Equally as adaptable as its larger cousin the Traditional Stair, side and end exits are possible.
- Non-slip treads and landings made with mesh grating ensure safety and clean work boots, reducing site debris on the stair tower and the working platform.
- Integrated toe board system.
CASE STUDY: THE THAMES TIDEWAY PROJECT
The Thames Tideway Project is the most significant infrastructure project undertaken in London. The sewer relief tunnel will create a cleaner, healthier River Thames and will enable the capital’s sewer system to continue to serve London for at least the next 100 years.
Costing over £4 billion, it will modernize London’s 150-year-old sewer system, originally built for a population less than half its current size, reducing untreated discharges into the River Thames by tens of millions of tons per year.
One aspect of UKSSH’s involvement in the project included supplying some impressive stair towers to provide access to and from 60-metre-deep shafts that were constructed as an integral part of the project.
UKSSH also worked alongside Creator Scaffold Designs to design and supply a series of Haki system birdcage enclosures supporting rolling temporary roofs to overcome a challenge created by the projects commitment to minimising environmental impact.
The environmental commitment to move materials by barge rather than by road not only meant that one million tonnes of excavated material has been removed by barge but also that huge volumes of building aggregates have been moved to site by the same method.
That posed a problem for contractors: How to keep materials delivered to the riverside wharfs dry, but also allow easy access to loaders.
UKSSH’s innovative solution of a series of birdcage enclosures supporting rolling temporary roofs kept building aggregates dry and were then rolled aside to allow access to loaders and lorries to carry the sand to site.
As Gary Griffiths, MD of UKSSH commented: “By comparison with the logistics and costs of the project, our input was tiny, but the rolling roofs, site stair towers and compact site stair towers that we have supplied for the Tideway project are invaluable contributions to the greater scheme.”
