Google Bolands Mills Dublin

OMC were delighted to be awarded specialists contractor for several steel stairs in Google's new building in Bolands Mills Dublin. The Helical stair presents an immediate challenge regarding access into an existing building. Through several design workshops with the architect, engineer and main contractor , OMC proceeded to produce working drawings and 3 D models. The 3D models allow us to design the stair in sections and using the latest animation software, we can check each section fits through the designated routes. The stair was manufactured and assembled in our workshop to ensure a precision fit on site. All stair sections are carefully placed on special lifting frames to ensure there is no distortion to the curves during loading, transport and lifting on site. Our skilled installation team transport all sections into the building and begin the installation process. Each section is carefully hoisted into place using specialist equipment, checked for tolerance and secured onto the Macalloy suspension rods. This process is repeated until the stair is complete. Macalloy rods are tensioned in accordance with recommended guidelines. Stainless steel wires are added as the balustrade. Curved & Polished stainless steel handrails are added. The stair receives a full survey and inspection prior to being handed over to the client for specific floor finishes and LED lighting.
