Galvanised Maintenance Platform
Client:
Large food processing plant
Location:
Beenleigh
Project description:
Fabrication and installation of metal maintenance access platform required to service an abattoir component, 4m from floor level.
What were the challenges?
- The platform needed to be installed within the food processing facility without conducting any welding onsite.
- Rather, it had to be bolted to an existing structure.
- Compliance to AS1657 Fixed Platforms and Walkways was mandatory.
How did Davis Welding and Fabrication solve these challenges?
- Using 3D CAD software, a small access platform was designed to fit in the space and join on to an adjacent platform
- All components were bolted into position, eliminating the risks associated with hot work.
Project result
- The galvanised platform was installed outside the operational hours of the food processing facility, eliminating any down time.
- Access to the required components is now easily and safely gained via this platform.
