Safe and Efficient Interior Work at a Mall’s Open Staircase
Overcoming Challenges in Staircase-Based Ceiling Access
Completing interior work in open staircase areas often requires innovative solutions to ensure worker safety and operational efficiency. Accessing ceilings above stairways presents unique risks, including scaffolding instability and obstruction of pathways.
Keystone Solutions encountered these challenges during a mall interior project. They needed a solution that would enable safe ceiling access without disrupting the stairway below or compromising safety standards.
The Challenge: Ensuring Stability and Access in an Open Staircase Environment
Keystone Solutions faced several critical issues during the project:
1. Safety Concerns: Conventional scaffolding posed risks of instability, especially when spanning an open staircase.
2. Obstruction-Free Pathways: Maintaining clear stairway access for mall operations was crucial.
3. Space Limitations: The staircase layout limited the use of traditional scaffolding setups, affecting worker efficiency.
4. Productivity Challenges: Frequent adjustments and instability issues slowed down the progress of ceiling work.
To overcome these obstacles, the client required a custom solution that combined safety, efficiency, and operational continuity.
