Before & after
The illustrated repair result
The steps and landing have a continuous grey finish, with new railings following the original access route.
THE PROJECT SCOPE
What the work involves
The before view shows concrete loss across the stair edges, landing face and lower steps, together with corrosion around the railings. The after view shows the visible concrete surfaces reinstated and the railings replaced. The comparison brings the stair profiles, landing and metalwork together as one waterfront access refurbishment.
Step edges and risers
Record concrete loss and cracking across the visible stair levels.
Landing and side face
Inspect the damaged edge and adjoining concrete for additional deterioration.
Replacement handrails
The after image shows new railings and base fixings along the stair and landing.
WATERFRONT CONDITIONS
Access & staging
The stair flight would require an isolated work zone and an agreed alternative route where it provides public access. Water levels, wet surfaces and handrail support would need to be considered when planning the work.
A COORDINATED APPROACH
Typical repair sequence
Inspect the stair flight
Record defects on the steps, landing, side faces and handrail anchor areas.
Plan access and finished profiles
Confirm work-zone separation and the specified stair and surface details.
Prepare and rebuild affected areas
Address unsound concrete and exposed reinforcement within the agreed repair scope.
Review before reopening
Check the specified finish and curing requirements before restoring stair access.
