The images illustrate the final assembly phase of an emergency stair tower serving a modern office building in Rome, featuring a continuous glass façade. The structure, constructed entirely of hot-dip galvanized steel, extends over six levels above ground and is designed as a self-supporting element adjacent to the main body of the building.
The main framework is composed of sturdy hot-formed sections (HEA/HEB) and tubular uprights, connected by high-strength bolted joints, clearly visible in the technical details of the structural joints. The walking surfaces and steps are made of electro-welded metal grating, a solution that ensures excellent grip in all weather conditions and reduces permanent loads on the structure. The parapets are complemented by a dense protective metal mesh, which acts as an anti-vertigo screen and ensures maximum safety for users. The use of metal carpentry allowed for a remarkable speed of construction on this site, minimizing the impact on work activities inside the building and ensuring seismic and fire protection compliant with current regulations in the Lazio region.
