Constraints / challenges?
From our initial site meeting it was clear that our experience and design expertise were going to be needed to make the installation of the staircase as quick and simple as possible. Wood Wharf is an extremely busy site so it was imperative that our staircase didn’t slow or impede other works at site. As a result, our in-house Designers created design concepts that required a minimal amount of fitting at site, with the vast majority of the work undertaken at our London factory. This meant that installation was quick and easy. Due to intuitive design, 11 flights of stairs were installed in 1 single motion when our staircase was installed from a height using a crane on site.
Febrication Detail:
An 11-storey bespoke staircase that required the minimum amount of assembly at site.
Installation Detail:
The Elite Metal Group installed this project over a 4-week period.
Why was the Elite Metal Group chosen for this project?
We’ve worked with main contractor O’Halloran and Ball for a number of years and have a good, solid working relationship with them.
Elite was selected for this project as they had the knowledge to install an 11-storey staircase from height with ease. Our competitive rates made us the obvious supplier.
The Finished project
This stunning project meets the ambitious brief perfectly. The staircase is beautiful and works seamlessly within the new development.
Testimononial from client
On our current project we were engaged with multiple suppliers for the street furniture as part of our hard and soft landscaping scope.
Elite were by far the preferred supplier. From design to delivery every stage was clearly communicated so we could provide our client accurate Information for forecasting and programme.
Their design team is efficient in identifying discrepancies and providing solutions to any problems.
The quality of fabrication is to a high standard and their team even identified areas where fabrication could be sped up.
