Basingstoke Hospital, Basingstoke

OVERVIEW

PROJECT BACKGROUND: A mobile trailer was adapted into a Covid PCR Testing Laboratory.


The staff test 6-7 thousand saliva pots every three weeks.


REQUIREMENT: Temporary modular steps to replace the existing ones to the trailer. 


The current steps were too steep and narrow, with no handrails and platform.


END RESULT: We installed fully compliant temporary steps, which included infill handrails and a platform for turning space.

We matched the hire period for the mobile laboratory. Once no longer needed, the steps will be removed by our installation team. Removal is a service included in our rental package. 

The steps are fully compliant with documents M & K of the building regulations.


FEATURES INCLUDED:

  •  Infill Handrail - this product prevents users from climbing or falling through gaps.
  • Yellow Tread - this is a safety feature designed to help those with impaired vision identify the nose of each step. Additionally, it helps users distinguish any level changes.
  • Trombone Ends - these are added to the ends to prevent clothes catching.
  • Mesh Platform - the self-draining mesh allows water to pass through rather than collect on the surface.
  • Continuous Handrail - this handrail system ensures users always have support to hold onto.
