Euston Station
FAST, TEMPORARY ACCESS FOR THE STATION
Public Building
London
REQUIREMENT:
One of the station's main entrances was temporarily blocked off due to construction works. Consequently, a short-term access route from an alternative entrance was needed for both able-bodied and disabled users.
The client hired our modular access systems to fulfil the brief. They were selected for several reasons:
- Unlike single-use wood or concrete alternatives, our modular systems can be reused in different configurations in other temporary projects.
- They can be dismantled within a few hours with no waste that ends up in landfills.
- With a weight capacity of 1,000 kg, they can successfully accommodate various types of passengers with additional equipment, including wheelchairs, suitcases, mobility scooters, pushchairs, and bikes.
- They fully comply with Part M and K of the Building Regulations.
DESIGN PAHSE:
INSTALLATION:
Despite the tight deadline of just three days and two nights, our team efficiently installed a ramp system with four entry points and a connecting step system.
The systems fully complied with Parts M and K of the Building Regulations.
At the end of the hire period, the systems were dismantled and repurposed for other projects, preventing landfill waste - unlike single-use wood or concrete alternatives.
This project demonstrates our ability to deliver swift, effective, and eco-friendly solutions under pressure.

- Mesh Platform - The self-draining mesh allows water to pass through, preventing water accumulation on the surface.
