Overview

As part of a comprehensive reconstruction project at the port, several key areas required significant upgrades to enhance both functionality and accessibility. These included the pier, pedestrian road, waiting room, driveway, and surrounding facilities. Among the most critical elements was the development of an emergency stair tower for pedestrians, ensuring a reliable and safe connection between the ferry and the passenger waiting area. The project was initiated with the clear objective of improving passenger flow, safety, and overall user experience.

SketchArt Engineering was responsible for the complete design of the stair tower. The structure was carefully planned to meet modern safety standards while also addressing practical concerns such as durability, accessibility, and integration with the existing port infrastructure. The tower’s design emphasized both convenience and compliance with contemporary construction regulations, allowing it to withstand the demanding operational conditions of a busy passenger terminal.

Throughout the project, Denmark construction codes and fire safety laws were meticulously followed to ensure that every detail complied with national regulations. In addition, detailed structural strength analyses were carried out to verify the stability and safety of the tower. The calculations confirmed that the structure could safely accommodate heavy pedestrian traffic under various environmental conditions. Special attention was given to material selection, corrosion resistance, and protective coatings, ensuring long-term reliability in a marine environment.

To further enhance safety and usability, the stair tower was equipped with non-slip steps, protective handrails, and integrated emergency lighting. These measures ensured that passengers could safely evacuate or move between areas at all times, even under adverse conditions. The final result was a robust and compliant structure that seamlessly integrated into the reconstructed port environment.
