Safety Advantages Afforded with Precast Shafts
There are many reasons to use precast elevator shafts and stair shafts for permanent installations. Concrete shafts can accelerate the speed at which a construction schedule moves as well as improve productivity and logistics. Precast concrete shafts are specified for their time and cost advantages, making them an ideal solution for residential, commercial, and municipal applications.
Precast concrete shafts also provide safety advantages. Installing these stair and elevator shafts will offer long-lasting protection compared to traditional temporary stairs and ladders or conventional masonry. We are methodical in ensuring the safety and reliability of our prefab products so workers, residents, inspectors, first responders, and others can be confident every time they use them. When used in tandem with our precast stair shafts and landings, they offer reliable, safe access to those who need it.
Safety Benefits of Precast Shafts
The safety of prefabricated stairwell shafts and precast elevator shafts begins with their manufacturing. Concrete elevator and stair shafts from County Prestress & Precast are produced off-site, significantly increasing safety and eliminating unnecessary risks. Our precast shafts are manufactured and inspected in NPCA-certified plants to ensure that each element consistently meets expectations with measured and monitored outcomes. The components arrive on-site ready to install and require fewer inspections during installation. Temporary scaffolding and ladders are no longer needed, eliminating a hazard from the job site.
Precast shafts continue to maximize occupant and user safety after installation. Precast concrete resists fire and water damage and withstands strong winds. It won’t warp and rot like wood or rust like steel. These shafts are made from non-combustible materials and will offer maximum protection in the event of a fire.
Prefabricated stair and elevator shafts offer unmatched strength and durability thanks to a combination of quality manufacturing materials and cutting-edge technology. Precast shafts are also resilient against natural and man-made disasters. They are designed and built to last more than 40 years, maintaining their shape and structure so they continue to outperform other materials.
Make the Safe Choice for Stairs and Elevators
Safety is a fundamental consideration for project leaders to ensure the well-being of construction teams as well as future building occupants. County Prestress & Precast manufactures concrete elevator shafts and stair shafts that emphasize these considerations and prioritize safety.
