DESCRIPTION
ABOUT THE PROJECT Waitrose is the 6th largest grocery retailer in the UK. SpanWright UK were appointed by RG Carter Projects Ltd for our Precast Concrete Stairs design to complete another step in the Waitrose project. Following on from their involvement in the Waitrose Westfield Flagship Store located in White City, London, RG Carter strove to maintain their high standards of architectural and structural design and finish in the Wimbledon project. SpanWright UK, modified existing product design, manufactured 1600mm wide steps with brushed finish in order for RG Carter to have the surface finished in Terrazzo on site. Sockets and tie bars were used to connect flights and landings maintaining continuity reinforcement for a structure expected to support the volume of footfall required to be part of doubling Waitrose revenues. We delivered stairs featuring the Halfen Deha system in order for RG Carter to lift and fit stairs in accordance with their construction programme.
