Hollowcore
For suspended floors with clear spans up to 13 metres
cast into the lower half of the units the number of strands and the degree
of prestressing determining the
ultimate load/span capacity. When
concreted together hollowcore units
can provide diaphragm action without
structural topping. However,
enhanced structural performance is
achieved by using
a composite structural topping.

Staircases
Precast stairs and landings for domestic and commercial projects
Quality-controlled factory production for rapid construction
Individually designed and manufactured,
precast concrete staircases combine
the advantages of quality-controlled
production with rapid construction and
immediate access for follow-on trades.
The Hanson range now includes both
straight flight and winding staircases
in both standard and bespoke
arrangements. Suitable for virtually
any situation in most masonry, concrete
and steel structures, they require
no propping or formwork and are
inherently fire resistant.

a comprehensive bespoke design and
manufacturing service is available.
Standard moulds are available for:
