Client: CITY OF SMARJE-PRI-JELSAH (THROUGH CONTRACTING COMPANY)
Location: SMARJE-PRI-JELSAH - SLOVENIA
Application sector: PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE
Objectives
The client was looking for a solution to renovate the walking surface and steps of a pedestrian walkway. From the performances point of view, a material resistant to UV rays and with proper mechanical strength in relation to the expected loads on the platforms was required. In order to ease the replacement of the existing material on the existing metal structure, a grey-pigmented, easy-to-install grating was required, supplied in elements with closed edges all around the perimeter for aesthetic purpose. The project was requested based on a survey carried out by the customer himself.
Solution
M.M. proposed the grating in the IFR formulation, a product family that guarantees excellent colour stability even when subjected to UV rays. The walking surface was created with an overall thickness of 41 mm, of which 3 mm of toplaminate, compatible with the configuration of the metal structures and with the project loads. The Technical Team of M.M. carried out the design of the size of the elements to cover the walkway and the steps, verifying that the dimensions of the elements were compatible with closed edges at the perimeter and avoiding that any open sides could be visible from the underlying roadway. The work was carried out ensuring an advantageous quality-price ratio.
