Project Details
Premier Engineering (Yorkshire) Ltd were commissioned to deliver a sleek, modern staircase as part of the ongoing development at the prestigious Westgate Shopping Centre in Oxford. Positioned in the heart of the centre, the staircase provides a stylish and practical new access route between the ground and first floors, enhancing customer flow and experience.
Design & Development
Working from the client’s initial drawings and design intent, our engineering team fully developed the concept into a complete, buildable solution. The staircase was carefully engineered to meet both the aesthetic vision and structural requirements, with detailed general arrangement drawings produced by our skilled in-house design team.
Fabrication
All steelwork was meticulously cut, formed, and fabricated in our dedicated facility. Key elements such as the laser-cut plates and curved glass track were crafted with precision and care. To ensure a flawless installation, the entire staircase was pre-assembled in our workshop, allowing us to carry out checks, fine-tuning, and quality assurance before disassembly and transport.
Installation
Our installation team carried out the delivery and assembly overnight, ensuring zero disruption during the shopping centre’s operating hours. Each component — from the main steel structure to the glass balustrade and stainless steel handrail — was fitted with precision. The project was completed on time and signed off to full client satisfaction.
A year after completion, we returned to Westgate on a typical busy day to see the staircase in action. Watching it seamlessly blend into the daily flow of shoppers was a proud reminder of how our work stands the test of time — both functionally and visually.
This project showcases Premier Engineering’s end-to-end capability — from design and fabrication to seamless overnight installation — and our commitment to delivering high-quality architectural metalwork that enhances both form and function in public spaces.
