Custom-designed steel platform, staircase, and safety handrails were fabricated and installed to meet operational and safety requirements.
-
The platform and ladder were installed safely and securely despite difficult access.
-
Our client was pleased with the safe and efficient delivery of the project, acknowledging the high standard of work completed.
Services Provided
-
Assessment of the site for optimal access and safety, ensuring efficient material delivery and installation.
-
Design and fabrication of a custom steel platform and ladder.
-

Challenges
-
The valve was located in a hard-to-reach area on a rock escarpment.
-
The materials for the platform and ladder had to be craned into position due to the remote and challenging access.
-
Crews had to use rope access methods to safely install the platform and ladder, which required precise coordination and expertise to avoid safety risks.
Outcome
The project was successfully completed with the steel platform, ladder, and handrails installed securely, providing safe access to the valve. We expertly coordinated the craning of materials into position and ensured a smooth installation process using rope access techniques, delivering a reliable and durable solution that enhanced operational efficiency and safety.The works were carried out safely and to a high standard, with the client expressing satisfaction with the final delivery and the improvement in access for future maintenance tasks.
