The Challenge
- The project involved safety-critical access structures used in an active industrial environment.
- Designs had to meet strict access, clearance, and load requirements.
- Structural elements needed to integrate with existing plant and equipment layouts.
- The client required assurance that all access systems were safe, compliant, and practical to fabricate.
Our Engineering Approach
- We designed code-compliant access structures, including platforms, stairs, and handrails.
- Structural layouts were optimized to provide safe access while minimizing steel tonnage.
- Connection design focused on durability, ease of fabrication, and safe installation.
- Designs were reviewed against operational and maintenance requirements to ensure long-term usability.
- All engineering was carried out in accordance with AS 1657 and AS 4100.
Tools and Deliverables
- Structural engineering calculations.
- Detailed fabrication drawings for platforms and stairs.
- Connection details supporting safe and efficient installation.
