Another stairway question - maximum height
Another stairway question - maximum height
(OP)
AS1657 says "unless otherwise approved by the regulatory authority, the head clearance shall be not less than 2000 mm measured vertically from the nosing of the tread."
I have a specific application requiring a stairway/landing at 1500 mm high. Does that mean I cannot design and build it?
To me that is crazy...
Some advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards.

Can you move the operating station/control station for the hopper someplace else more convenient or more economical or more profitable (ergometrically and quickly accessible!) to get to? Could you use a remote TV or video to see the restricted stairway hopper point and keep the operators from having to crawl up there to dump the hopper every hour/day/1/2 hour?
But, after saying that, don't keep unneeded restrictions in the way of a new design if there is any way to remove or eliminate the restriction.
