Scope Of Work
Performed study, design, engineering and fabrication of deployable platforms with removable ladders to facilitate safe access from rail equipment to flume box sidewalls.
- Platforms were designed for low profile and to accommodate variance in flume radius and framing spacing as well as potential impact form equipment.
- Developed prototype for testing . Several systems are now in use on flume.
Platform testing:
- Platform must accommodate overhanging obstructions from passing equipment
- 4 clamp connections connect the platform to the structure. Two are located under the removable grating insert.
- When not in use the walkthroughs are removable to allow for passing equipment.
Personnel are on retractable lifelines mounted from deployment railcar
Several platforms are in use on the flume
