SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Hanson provides a comprehensive

range of adjustable standard
moulds for staircases and landings
capable of meeting the requirements
of most projects.
However, where a standard mould is not
suitable, a comprehensive bespoke
design and manufacturing service is
available.

Hansons design team will ensure that

the structural performance of the
components being supplied meet all
current design standards.
Ensuring that the general layout and
detailing of the staircase configuration
satisfies current Building Regulations is
the responsibility of the project architect
or designer.

Each pre-cast concrete staircase is

individually designed and manufactured
to meet the specific requirements of
each project and our in-house design
team is on hand to provide further
guidance and information where
required.

moulds and transported flat.
Landings can be built-in as the

Flights with integral top

and/or bottom landings

Design is particularly suitable for
use around lift shafts or where
there is a requirement for more
resting positions for user
(eg hospitals, care homes etc).
Bearing may be taken from side
supports, end supports or continuous.

Precast winding
staircase
Available in L or U shaped
configurations, including winders

The winding staircase offers inherent

fire insulation and a high level of sound
insulation particular when used in
combination with Hanson pre-cast
floors at upper levels.

It can be easily installed as the

building progresses using adjustable
support brackets which are located in
pre-designed openings in the stairwell.
