03 / Access tower
A clearer route between street and platform.
When people move between levels throughout the day, access deserves its own place in the plan. Consider the route alongside the scaffold.
Define the connection.
A stair access tower may serve several working levels. The connection, arrival points and intended users all need assessment. Available ground space matters just as much as the height to be reached.

Describe the busiest part of the day.
One person making occasional trips presents a different requirement from several teams starting together. Explain who will use the route and what tools they carry. Identify any separate passage needed for residents or other building users.

Agree how access is managed.
Discuss street-level entry, closure outside working hours and handover between trades. An access tower is not automatically suitable as a public entrance or approved escape route. Any special use must be assessed by the responsible specialist before the arrangement is agreed.

One more
thing.
Can I enquire about a tower on its own?
Yes. Describe the route you need. Whether a separate tower is suitable depends on the site, connections and intended use.
