Architectural Case Study
The client had been looking to find a manufacturer who would be capable of fabricating a Stainless Steel Staircase but had been unsuccessful in finding a company that understood the design constraint imposed by the building and the area immediately surrounding the stairwell.
After a chance visit to a site where McE had installed a stainless steel bar and sundry fittings the client finally made contact.
Requirement:
Design, build and install a bespoke stainless steel staircase, which would not only allow access between the floors but would let light into and around the area of the staircase, eliminate the need for intermediate landings because of tight space requirements and could incorporate sunken lighting as part of the overall structure.
Solution:
An innovative design concept, which incorporated the use of a spiral staircase combined with a conventional staircase to meet the design criteria. The result was the McE took lead role for the project. This included:
- Full site survey
- Design proposals
- Production of working drawings
- Manufacture
- Installation
The result can be seen on this site on the Architectural page.
Food Equipment Case Study
The major food manufacturer involved in cutting of cheese into cubes before feeding the cubes onto a conveyor to raise and transport them to the next process. This was done using conventional processing machinery installed at normal working heights. This resulted in a number of handling problems due to the size of the product being transported.
Requirement:
To develop a process, which would eliminate downtimes and wastage experienced on this type of production process.
Solution:
The process was re-engineered so that the block cutting of the cheese was raised to the height of the ’hopper feed’ to the grating machine. Because the system did not have to climb to the ‘hopper’ no conveyor was required as the whole process was raised to same level. The result was the elimination of ‘blocking’ and feed problems and an increase in productivity and the reduction of waste.
