Construction Access Systems Ltd offers a modified and improved design of Common Tower system, which is available in various sizes depending upon the space available on site and the type, size and quantity of hoists to be used. This will allow developers and construction companies a choice on who they can use to supply their Common Tower & hoisting requirements. The Directors of the Company each have over eighteen years experience of marketing, design development and on site operations with the Common Tower System. The new design is a major improvement over the existing available system, is more robust, the components are easier to handle and install, has less bracing and can be installed to a greater height. We have developed an integrated staircase for our Common Tower system which utilises most of Common Tower standard components. Our Temporary Works Design expertise is in the design and construction phases of building and civil engineering projects, while our speciality is the design of temporary structures used during construction. Temporary works design and checking forms the core of our engineering business. We have experience of a very wide range of temporary structures including heavy false-works, cofferdams, access platforms, jump form and slip form structures and lifting equipment. We have also prepared temporary pre-stressing and propping schemes for use in bridge erection.To complement our heavy civil engineering experience we have wide experience of the design of scaffolding, hoisting and shoring schemes used in connection with high rise and low rise building projects.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
