The rugged, industrial and innovative character of the Amsterdam Houthavens fits well with the typical Diesel DNA. This industrial feel is found back inside in the beautiful central double staircase made of steel in the atrium. The double staircase is repeated three times vertically. Each double staircase is supported in the ends of the horizontal part by 2 profiles IPE 180, one on each side. The stairs span almost eight meters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"FAQ\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq uagb-faq__outer-wrap uagb-block-31692949 uagb-faq-icon-row uagb-faq-layout-accordion uagb-faq-expand-first-true uagb-faq-inactive-other-true uagb-faq__wrap uagb-buttons-layout-wrap uagb-faq-equal-height     \" data-faqtoggle=\"true\" role=\"tablist\"><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.buildsoft.eu\\\/en\\\/reference-projects\\\/diesel-central-staircase\\\/\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Why does an 8-metre steel staircase need a support profile on each side, rather than a single central support?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"A double staircase spanning close to 8 metres horizontally needs its ends supported symmetrically, one IPE 180 profile at each side, so the load from people using both flights is carried evenly without twisting the staircase along its length.
