Canal Engineering was specified to design and deliver a helical staircase for this prestigious project in Bermuda.

For the helical staircase, the architect’s specification was challenging; other than fixing points at the bottom and top, there was to be no additional structural support.

Once installed there was to be no movement or deflection in the staircase.

After the approval of the structural drawings, the Canal team began fabrication at their Nottingham manufacturing facility. Before shipping to Bermuda, the team tests the staircase for movement before dismantling it. Piece by piece they reconstructed the feature staircase and welded it all in place to create the seamless masterpiece.

On the outside, the 35 metre high building is rebated in the front right corner to accept the stainless steel canopy. The main structure and the lower canopy was all fabricated from grade 316 stainless steel.
