Steel Stair Design

Steel stair engineering services include a professionally engineered report with calculations and stamped in the state of your project.  Stair design includes all steel stair components such as guardrails, handrails and posts, stringers, headers, treads, pan beams, landings, posts and bracing.  Custom components such as removable handrail, safety chain attachments and gates can also be provided as well as other metals such as stainless steel and aluminum.  We have designed stringers utilizing C, MC, HSS and plate stringers and treads consisting of light gage steel pans, grating, checker plate and  pre-cast concrete.  

Our team is well versed in stair engineering and our custom calculation programs check all applicable limit states and also verify the deflection of the stair and guard rails will be code requirements (IBC and AISC).  Our clients include regional and national steel fabricators, so we have experience will all types of steel stairs and understand the fabrication of this specialty item.     

Coordination with the miscellaneous steel fabricator is essential to provide economical designs and superb performance of steel stairs.  Our team utilizes 3-D structural analysis models on complicated stairs to check the structural strength of the stair and ensure the stair performs as expected.  SSE also provides miscellaneous steel engineering services for steel canopies, platforms, ladders and free-standing stair towers.
