An award winning modular building manufacturer with over twenty years of experience.
Initially built sustainable garden offices, their buildings quickly grew in size and ambition as they moved into the educational sector, constructing everything from standalone SEND classrooms to larger two-storey blocks.
When the Head of HSEQ contacted OSC for help with a recent project we were happy to help.
The Company had recently installed a wooden staircase on a new sixth form college building for a school.
Further work was required to complete the installation of a suspended ceiling.
However, the new wooden staircase was unable to hold the weight of scaffolding, so the team were looking for an alternative that would enable safe access for working on the stairs and provide them with the height to work on the ceiling.
The StairSpan stairwell protection system helps prevent falls into stairwells, voids, and open stairways while providing a secure working platform.
Quick to install and easy to relocate, its adaptable design fits a range of stair configurations without restricting access, allowing work to continue efficiently.
Upon receipt of the technical drawings, our systems expert came up with a plan to use the StairSpan Compact systems to create a safe working platform.
Made from lightweight aluminium, the wooden staircase would be able to hold the weight of the system without compromising on safety.
StairSpan proved to be the perfect solution.
Ten Compact StairSpans were installed, providing the essential coverage of the staircase to ensure safe working at height.
The adjustable feet made it easy to adapt the system and make it higher, enabling the team to reach the ceiling and work in safety without the need for hop/step ups.
