Precast Concrete Staircases for NUI Maynooth Student Housing

There are many advantages of having precast concrete staircases. The first one is that they are very long lasting. Besides that, they do not require special maintenance and can stand any weather change. If you are wondering why you should choose concrete over another material, then perhaps here are some reasons to assist you in your decision:

Precast Concrete Staircase Advantages

  • Can be used both interiors and exteriors and is weather proof
  • It can take a very high load
  • It’s fire-resistant and mouldable into different shapes
  • It’s a very economical solution – due to speed of construction, It is estimated that a precast structure takes up to 20% less time to construct than a similar cast in situ structure.
  • The design options are extensive including highly elegant and classical designs

The project comprised of  the construction of new student accommodation in three number courtyard blocks comprising 4 to 9 stories in height with a total gross floor area of c. 9,300m2, including a new stand-alone energy centre, refuse collection point (Bring centre), associated site works and pitch enabling works. The building site is confined and occurs in live university campus close to other student residences to the east and mature residential dwellings beyond the northern boundary of the site. Precast stairs can greatly improve buildability because sensitive parts of the operation can be moved directly from factory floor to the site.

Flood Precast designed, manufactured and supplied 72no Precast Concrete Stairs for the courtyard 1, 2 & 3 accommodation buildings. We were as always delighted to working in partnership with JJ Rhatigan’s providing our precast staircores for this project.
