Summary:
A stair system, designed to fully retract when not in use, was needed to improve the
efficiency and safety of the processing area.
The stair system is raised and lowered using a winch. Completely fabricated in FRP, it is
lightweight enough to make this possible. Averaging 25% of the weight of comparable
metallic structures, plus no corrosion concerns, make utilizing FRP an easy choice.
The unique challenge of avoiding the processing equipment and piping on the bottom, led
to a small landing and short ladder system being integrated with the bottom of the
staircase.
