Infrastructure
Slope stairs
One element, no formwork on the slope
In numbers
- precast elements with free dimensions for each step
- 50% less labour to install each element
- steps cannot shift relative to one another – lower risk of defects
- 24% less material
Stairs on a slope almost never fit “from the catalogue” – every slope has a different gradient and run length. 3D printing removes the problem at its source.
01 — Challenge
Every slope is different
Ready-made precast steps have fixed dimensions, so they either do not match the gradient or require levelling the ground and extra sub-base layers. Casting on site, in turn, means formwork – labour, time and waste.
02 — Solution
Geometry matched to the terrain
The elements were designed for this particular slope and printed in concrete without moulds. Changing a step dimension carries no cost of new formwork, so the geometry could follow the terrain rather than the other way round.
03 — Result
Less work on site
The elements arrived finished and were set into the prepared ground.
