Summary
- Project Title: Fire Escape Steel Staircase
- Client: Vestey Foods UK Limited
- Project Duration: 2 weeks
- Key Outcomes: Steel staircase for mezzanine fire escape
The Fire Escape Steel Staircase project for Vestey Foods UK Limited was completed on time, within budget, and with precision engineering. Designed as a solution for mezzanine fire escape access, the project delivered significant cost savings while meeting the tight two-week deadline.
This project involved designing and building a staircase to attach to both the mezzanine structure and the building’s main stanchion—eliminating the need for support posts. Ridgeway’s expertise as staircase specialists enabled them to work with minimal briefing, quickly assessing cost-effective solutions during the initial site survey.
Meticulous design was paired with efficient off-site fabrication in Ridgeway’s factory to streamline processes and avoid disruptions. Led by Jon Kay (Project Director) and Andy Cookson (Installation Lead), the installation was executed during optimal hours to minimise impact on daily operations. With every step meticulously planned, the project exemplifies how careful consideration of client needs and practical execution can lead to outstanding results.
