How FP McCann Precast Stair Cores can help developers adhere to the new building regulations requiring a secondary stair core in high-rise residential buildings.
Developers seek efficient and compliant solutions in response to updated building regulations mandating secondary stair cores in high-rise residential buildings.
FP McCann’s precast stair cores offer a robust answer to these requirements, ensuring safety and construction efficiency.
Proven Track Record
FP McCann’s expertise in delivering high-quality precast solutions is well-documented. For instance, in developing a hospital car park in Ely, Cambridgeshire, the company supplied and installed precast concrete panels with brick slip applications for the stair and lift cores. This approach met aesthetic requirements and showcased the efficiency of off-site manufacturing, reducing on-site construction time and minimizing health and safety risks associated with working at height.
By integrating FP McCann’s precast stair cores, developers can effectively comply with the new building regulations, ensuring enhanced safety and efficiency in high-rise residential projects.
Comprehensive Design and Installation Services
FP McCann provides bespoke precast stair core solutions tailored to specific project needs. Their comprehensive services encompass design and installation, facilitating close collaboration with design teams to develop optimal solutions from the project’s inception. This early engagement minimizes the necessity for temporary on-site works, streamlining the construction process.
Versatility in Construction
The company offers two primary design options for stair cores: stability cores and freestanding cores. Stability cores contribute lateral stability to the entire structure, while freestanding cores function independently. The configurations include L and T-shaped walls, with the possibility of adopting precast box units when dimensions permit.
Advantages of Precast Concrete Solutions
Utilising FP McCann’s precast stair cores presents several benefits:
- Quality Assurance: Manufactured under controlled factory conditions, these precast components ensure consistent quality and compliance with building regulations.
- Efficient Installation: Precast stairs and landings allow immediate access to site personnel and subsequent trades, enhancing on-site productivity.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Precast elements eliminate the need for expensive formwork and temporary propping, reducing overall construction costs.
