Escape stairs are steel evacuation systems that enable building occupants to reach a safe area during fire, gas leakage, explosion or similar emergencies. They create an independent exit route between floors, platforms and different levels and support continuous evacuation when the main circulation system cannot be used.
Each system is engineered specifically according to building height, occupant capacity, floor exits, facade conditions, ground structure and the evacuation scenario.
Escape stairs are independent or supplementary evacuation structures that enable occupants to reach a safe area when the main stairways are unavailable.
Depending on project requirements, the system may include:
Provide an alternative and safe exit when the main circulation areas cannot be used.
Help occupants move in a defined direction through floor exits, landings and stair flights.
Support safer movement through anti-slip steps, suitable inclination, landings and continuous guardrails.
Complete evacuation signs and procedures with a permanent exit system.
Can be retrofitted to reinforced-concrete, prefabricated and steel structures using suitable connection details.
The system can be expanded or adapted when floor exits or the building layout changes.
Single-direction systems used on facades with sufficient horizontal space.
Compact solutions that change direction at an intermediate landing.
Provide controlled evacuation between floors where facade space is limited.
Workshop-manufactured bolted modules assembled on site for easier installation and future modification.
Manufactured with reinforced profiles for intensive use, high occupant capacity and demanding outdoor conditions.
Designed specifically around facade openings, service routes, columns and restricted areas.
Each project is evaluated individually according to building geometry, occupant capacity and the evacuation route.
Floor exits, facade structure, ground conditions, supporting elements and evacuation direction are evaluated on site.
Stair width, inclination, step dimensions, landings, supporting profiles, guardrails and connection details are determined. Technical drawings are prepared.
Steel profiles, steps, landings and connection elements are cut, machined and welded according to project dimensions.
Galvanizing, paint or protective coating suitable for outdoor conditions is applied. Dimensions, welds, steps and guardrails are inspected.
Stair modules are delivered to the site, connected to the ground and facade supporting structure, aligned and assembled.
System stability, clear widths, landings, guardrails, doors and connections are checked before handover.
Existing escape stairs may develop corrosion, loose connections, deformed steps, damaged guardrails or weakened structural components over time.
Following a technical inspection, the following works may be carried out:
Material and surface treatment are selected according to load capacity, building height and outdoor conditions.
Forms the main supporting system of the stairs. Profile sections are selected according to span, occupant load and wind effects.
Provide a durable and safe walking surface for intensive use.
Reduce the accumulation of water, dust and dirt and support outdoor use.
Provides long-term corrosion protection in outdoor and high-humidity conditions.
Provides a durable surface suitable for sheltered areas and can be applied in corporate colors.
Securely connect the stairs to the ground and existing supporting structure.
Projects are not limited to standard dimensions; they are prepared according to building height, occupant capacity, facade structure and the evacuation scenario.
Site survey, design, steel fabrication, surface treatment and site installation are managed within a single process. Modular solutions also allow systems to adapt to existing and future building changes.
No. They are engineered according to floor heights, occupant capacity, facade geometry, landings and connection points.
Yes. An independent or connected supporting system can be designed after the facade and ground conditions have been inspected.
The solution depends on the building structure and evacuation scenario. Independent exterior steel systems are frequently preferred in industrial buildings.
Yes. Doors suitable for the evacuation direction or self-closing safety doors can be integrated at floor exits.
Yes. Where the supporting structure is suitable, steps, landings, guardrails, connections and surface coatings can be renewed.
Yes. Shipment, anchoring, facade connections, module assembly, alignment and final inspections can be included in the project scope.
Technical assessment and project engineering can be provided for an escape-stair system suited to the building height, occupant capacity and evacuation scenario.
