The steps were installed so that they overlapped, making individual replacement of each step impossible. Removing the steps also allowed the underlying steel and concrete structure to be inspected and, where necessary, reinforced or repaired to prevent future damage. The granite steps were replaced one-for-one, with the same detailing, materialization, color, and finish as the original steps. The complete replacement not only provides a uniform appearance of the stairs but also offered the opportunity to further optimize the safety, wear resistance, and maintenance of the stairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ruland.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1760001924425-773x1030.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-7415 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ruland.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1760001924425-773x1030.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"773\" height=\"1030\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ruland.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1760001924425-773x1030.jpg 773w, https:\/\/ruland.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1760001924425-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/ruland.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1760001924425-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ruland.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1760001924425-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/ruland.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1760001924425-1125x1500.jpg 1125w, https:\/\/ruland.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1760001924425-529x705.jpg 529w, https:\/\/ruland.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1760001924425.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 773px) 100vw, 773px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ruland.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1760001904120-1030x773.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-7413 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ruland.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1760001904120-1030x773.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1030\" height=\"773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ruland.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1760001904120-1030x773.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/ruland.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1760001904120-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ruland.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1760001904120-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ruland.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1760001904120-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ruland.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1760001904120-1500x1125.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/ruland.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1760001904120-705x529.jpg 705w, https:\/\/ruland.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1760001904120.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The stairs of Weert have been restored to their former glory.
