Euston Station

During the extensive construction activities, it was imperative to establish a temporary wheelchair-accessible route to an alternative entrance.

The access system had to overcome the concrete steps effectively while adhering strictly to the requirements outlined in Parts K and M of the Building Regulations.

The design included mid-handrails and incorporated four entry points onto the walkways. Our in-house design team generated CAD drawings, which were subsequently provided to the client along with their quotation.

To meet the project deadline, the fitters worked various shifts spanning three days and two nights.

The platforms feature a 1:15 gradient and fully adhere to Building Regulations Documents M & K. Additionally, a step system for able-bodied access was installed, and yellow mid-handrails at a height of 600mm were placed on both sides of all ramps and platforms.

Upon the completion of the rental period, the systems will be disassembled and repurposed for other hire projects.

FEATURES INCLUDED:

• Infill Handrail - This component is designed to prevent users from climbing or falling through gaps.
• Yellow Tread - This safety feature aids individuals with impaired vision in identifying the ramp's edge and any changes in level.
• Trombone Ends - These additions are placed at the ends of a Rapid Ramp to prevent clothes from snagging.
• Mesh Platform - The self-draining mesh allows water to pass through, preventing water accumulation on the surface.
• Continuous Handrail - This handrail system ensures that users always have a support to hold onto.
• Standard colour: Black - The ramps come in a powder-coated black finish, ensuring durability that surpasses conventional paint.
• Rest Platform - A 5-meter rest platform for users to pause.
• 1100mm High Rail - Handrails attaching to any level sections.

EXTRA FEATURES INCLUDED:

• Solid Hoarding - This skirt is purposefully designed to deter unauthorised access to the underside of the ramp, making it a frequent choice for schools and other public buildings.
• Yellow Mid-Handrail - A lower handrail system for young children and wheelchair users, offering visibility due to the reflective nature of yellow.
• Fully Compliant Step Unit - Compliance with Building Regulations Documents M and K.
• GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) -  A slip-resistant and non-corrosive surface, ideal for high footfall areas like schools and other public spaces.
