Scope of Work

We were tasked with manufacturing and installing stainless steel and glass balustrade systems within Manchester’s new Circle Square building.

​On the ground level, we meticulously designed, manufactured, and installed a trio of

satin-finished Stainless steel grab rails.

These rails, complete with based covers, were strategically placed to ensure the safety of visitors on the 3 tread steep step units and provide a sense of security.

​We introduced our innovative bespoke frameless glass balustrade system on the upper level, accessed via the dual escalators.

​It incorporated 31.5mm toughened and laminated glass panels with an SGP interlayer.

Our bespoke fabricated glass channel, designed to accommodate a 3.0Kn loading, was fixed beneath a raised access floor to support the glass.

This loading capacity was chosen to ensure the safety and stability of the balustrade system.
