Description
The newly commissioned building of the Sheikh Khalid Apartment Complex in Doha, Qatar, has a stainless steel balustrade in the contemporary look of the structure. In this blog, an analysis regarding the manufactured and useful aspects of the balustrade and why it was preferred to use stainless steel.
Stainless Steel Elegance
Once the material was specified the design team intended to implement the balustrade which complements the building’s modern design while having safety functionality. They concentrated on the idea of having a distinctive design for the Sheikh Khalid Apartment Complex.
The selected design among the changed designs includes vertical bars made of stainless steel that are fixed to the concrete structures of the building. Intermediate rails interconnect the posts for better support and provide extra aesthetic value through stainless steel panels.
Balustrade Design Challenges
Certainly one of the more complex was figuring out how to create the balustrade itself which had to conform to the highly specific requirements of local codes for safety. It was agreed with the local authorities to meet and surpass the set safety measures while implementing this design.
Once the design was laid down, construction of the balustrade started and that called for a lot of work and skills. The stainless steel rails, posts, and ornamental panels were pre-fabricated in our workshop because sizes and shapes were critical and then bolted on-site after fixing.
Coordinated Construction Efforts
Most of the challenges the Installation Team encountered were bound by the different levels within the building construction. Erecting the balustrade safely and with minimum interruption involved a lot of planning as the construction was continuously going on in the background.
Nonetheless, despite these challenges the construction of the balustrade was completed on time and to the cost estimate. The end product is a fine example of modern engineering and architecture and has quickly become one of the complex’s best marketing points.
Functional Design Benefits
The innovative stainless steel balustrade opens up both the beauty and functionality of the building and the priorities given to the residents thereof. It provides a shield, most importantly to families with small children and elderly, from falling off balconies and stairs.
Also, the balustrade contributes to the feeling of privacy and security for the safe occupants. People may have their balconies and terrace space to bathe in fresh air and sun yet still have a reasonable degree of privacy owing to contemporary decorative panels that cover the balustrade.
Висновок
The balustrade also significantly enhances the price of the Sheikh Khalid Apartment Complex by adding a special and expensive look of needed detail. It is in every area that is defined from unit layout to tenant facilities a true testament to the quality and excellence of the building.
