Classification data | |
Standard | To BS EN 10025-2 for riser plate, BS EN 10152 for support frame, and BS EN 10219-1 for support beams. |
Certification | UKCA, FORS gold standard. |
Designation | S275JR+AR for riser plate, DC01+ZV for support frame, and S235JRH for support beams. |
Plate | 6 mm thick durbar floor plates, shot blasted and red oxide primed (26–30 µm-thick). Blank or pre-cut with MEP service penetrations. Manufacturer guidanceNote: The main contractor is responsible for providing the riser flooring and all associated secondary support steelwork to ensure safe and accessible access to the risers, with adequate working space for maintenance and inspection. The main contractor is also responsible for the complete design, coordination, and installation of the riser flooring systems. This includes the provision of kick plates, soaker plates, and handrails as necessary, all in compliance with best practice guidelines from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). |
Frame | 3 mm Zintec coated steel 'C' section with 3 mm backplate and bottom flange. Concrete embedment tangs welded to RiserSafe® unit at 600 mm centres. 75 x 75 x 6 mm RSA brackets. Guidance for specification option: Frame to the depth of the floor slab, dropped beam, or concrete upstand, according to structural design intent. Riser floor fixing solution to suit the particular structural openings in the area in which they are located. Manufacturer guidanceMEP riser and shaft wall openings: To the details set out in the Structural Engineer's drawings and specifications. |
Size | As drawings. Guidance for specification option: Insert reference. Units larger than 1000 x 1000 mm are supplied with removable toothed joist hangers and supporting relocation beams. Beam hangers will be used to allow beams to function at right angles. |
Additional supports | |
Size | 60 x 100 x 5 mm RHS relocation beams. 60 x 100 x 5 mm RHS relocation beams, welded to provide fixing points for fire-rated walls. Guidance for specification option: Fixing points can be provided for FR 30/ 60/ 90/ 120 dry-lined walls, as required. |
Material and finish | Steel, shot blasted and red oxide primed (26–30 µm thick). |
Fixings | Floor plates: Fixed with 5/16 hex head 5.5 x 38 mm tek screws. Wall plates: Fixed with M16 RAWL HPIIZF-16140/20 throughbolt anchors U.N.O. - refer to supplier's drawings. |
Prepared openings | As drawings. Guidance for specification option: Insert requirements. Cover plates over the top of the service penetrations pre-cut in the floor plates of the RiserSafe system. The temporary hole protection is part of the unit and only removed when services are being installed. |
Fire-stopping | Not required. 120 minutes REI in combination with fire compound, 90 minutes RE. Guidance for specification option: If fire compound (provided by others) is required, the floor plate must be lowered by 100 mm. Please refer to the manufacturer's literature for more details. The fire stopping must be provided by others post-installation of all services. Where designated for the application of fire stopping, the RiserSafe® floor and all associated fixings will be purpose-designed and certified for two-hours fire rating (stability, integrity, and insulation), once the fire stopping is applied as a combined system. |
Integral accessories | 3 mm Zintec steel joist hangers/hook plates and beam hangers. Soaker plates (mechanical and electrical). Cover plates for all MEP cut-outs. Stencilled lettering “remove for services” (RFS) on cover plates, 6 mm fillet welded lifting eyes. |
Reaction to fire | To EN 13501-1, Class A1 (non-combustible). Guidance for specification option: Up to 1000°C for 90 minutes. |
Safe Working Load | 2.5 kN/m² UDL. |
Tolerances | +/-5 mm manufacturing tolerance. |
Brackets | Manufacturer's standard. Manufacturer guidanceBrackets are included as part of the RiserSafe® system. Refer to the manufacturer's literature for details. Please note, Ambar Kelly does not supply Halfen channels and fixings. |
Secondary support structure | 100 x 60 x 5 mm RHS firewall beams welded to RiserSafe®, wrapped in fire boarding (by others). Guidance for specification option: The 'C’ section is removed in firewall beam locations and Durbar plate supplied to close off gap during construction. |
Verification | Submittals: Drawings of all prefabricated modular riser flooring units, in PDF and DWG formats, showing dimensions and layout, safe working load, and safety-critical installation steps, and a 3D model of the permanent maintenance modular riser flooring units. Manufacturer guidanceAmbar Kelly provides coordinated drawings at scales suitable for review, coordination, and fabrication. Drawings are compliant with Common Data Environment (CDE) naming conventions. Ambar Kelly coordinates directly with Architectural, Structural, and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) contractors, incorporating their RVT/IFC models. Ambar Kelly provides an Autodesk Revit tool (templates, families, or plugins as required) for the modular riser flooring unit to the design team, enabling them to design interface details with structural elements, MEP services, and fire compartmentation requirements (both horizontal and vertical). |
Timing | Drawings: Submit before fabrication. 3D model: Submit before integration into the federated model. |
Contains Red List materials | Manufacturer guidancePrimary raw material is steel, at present the best option for stability, strength and non-combustibility required by regulation, guidelines, and codes of practice. However, we are a carbon neutral company through off setting and have an audit annually to confirm our credibility. |
