KOMBI Access Modular Aluminium Stair Systems
Situation
Commencing in 2017, the upgrade to the Ballarat line includes the duplication of 18 kilometres of track, new regional stations, signalling upgrades and track improvements. Coleman Rail required a system that could be easily transported and assembled on-site. The undulating terrain presented a unique set of challenges which would have been difficult, if not impossible, to overcome if installing traditional steel step and stair systems.
Solution
The SAYFA technical team attended site to assess the requirements and generated a custom design to allow access down the embankment. The location of the signalling tower, out in the fields where ground conditions were far from ideal, meant KOMBI was the perfect solution.
Drawings were created in our online configuration tool, the KOMBI Builda. This allow full flexibility with the design and ensured the client could easily visualise the system. All systems created in the KOMBI Builda meet required parameters as set out in Australian Standards. Final shop drawings were then produced once the client had approved the concept.
The KOMBI Stair System was manufactured and pre-assembled by SAYFA and then transported by ute in modules. This removed the necessity to hire a crane to lift steel stairs into position, which would have created an additional set of issues given the soft and uneven surfaces at the location. Once delivered, the KOMBI System was bolted together on-site by Coleman Rail personnel.
The result - a very fast and effective install and a very happy client.
Installing access steps and stairs in remote locations can be difficult. Time delays and additional costs for specialist trades and tools can mean your simple project can quickly turn into a major problem.
With KOMBI Stair Systems you have the option for your own workers to perform the install, enabling the completion of your project quickly and easily.
