QuikDeck® Suspended Access Solution

Brand Access Solutions was tasked with providing a safe and efficient suspended platform system to enable the replacement of the ceiling in Manchester Airport’s Terminal 2 check-in hall, all while keeping the area fully operational for passengers.

Manchester Airport Terminal 2 Check-In

Scope

The scope included: 

Challenge

  • Passenger Safety and Access: The platform needed to be fully sealed to prevent debris falling into public areas, while ensuring unrestricted passenger movement to check-in desks. 
  • Strict Structural Load Limits: Existing roof trusses imposed a maximum allowable load of 60 kg/sqm, which had to include both the platform’s dead load and the live working load. 
  • Integration of Temporary Services: The solution needed to accommodate temporary lighting and other essential utilities for the works. 

Solution

  • Installed a fully sealed QuikDeck® suspended platform to allow ceiling replacement without impacting the public space below. 
  • Used lightweight composite boards to reduce the dead weight of the platform while maintaining full load capacity within the 60 kg/sqm limit. 
  • Chain-suspended design eliminated the need for supports in public areas, preserving full operational space. 
  • Integrated temporary lighting and other services into the QuikDeck structure. 
  • Combined QuikDeck with HAKI staircases, hoists, and shrink-wrap encapsulation for a complete, safe, and efficient system. 
  • All works delivered by Brand Access Solutions scaffolders trained and experienced in QuikDeck installation. 

Result

  • Delivered a safe, fully compliant suspended access platform allowing construction and public operations to continue side-by-side. 
  • Achieved a turnkey access solution combining design, engineering, installation, and integrated services. 
  • Maintained passenger safety and comfort throughout the works. 
  • Completed Phase 1 on time, with Phase 2 scheduled to follow seamlessly.
