Problem/Challenge

This project required us to put a raised GRP platform with GRP handrails and GRP steps in to allow access to cabinets and water tanks. The architect on this project also requested that the steps be made to French building regulations which the design team had to adhere to. The installation was all to take place in quite a confined space.

Solution

Our pedestal system raised access flooring was the perfect solution for this job. As the cabinets were at a height off the ground, the flooring was raised to 410mm.

Our design team used Blondel’s Law Formula to ensure adherence to French building regulation. The French architect Francois Blondel (1618 – 1686) is likely to have been the first to measure the human step and use it as a base for his formula, which is still being used today. The formula he developed determines the correct dimensions of a comfortable and efficient staircase according to its use.

Our GRP open mesh grating flooring, with handrails and steps afforded an easy two-man installation. The lightweight, easy to install GRP requires only hand tools, so no hot works permit is needed. 75% lighter than steel, it is easily manoeuvred in a confined space. Anti-slip, non-conductive and maintenance free, GRP is the sustainable solution.
