INDUSTRIAL ACCESS SOLUTIONS

Industrial platforms, walkways and access systems

Engineered, fabricated and installed platforms, stairs, ladders, walkways and handrails for industrial operations and maintenance access.

ACCESS WITH PURPOSE

Designed for the people who operate and maintain your plant.

Good access improves safety, efficiency and maintainability.

Cornerstone Project Engineering develops access solutions around the equipment, available space, operating environment and tasks your people need to perform.

From drawings and fabrication through to site installation, we coordinate the complete access scope with the surrounding structural, mechanical and production requirements.

PROJECT QUESTIONS

Planning your access requirements.

What access solutions can Cornerstone provide?

Platforms, walkways, stairs, ladders, handrails, guardrails and machinery access structures, subject to the approved project requirements.

Can you modify existing access structures?

Yes. Cornerstone can review repairs, extensions and modifications to existing installations.

Can you fabricate and install the complete solution?

Yes. Engineering coordination, detailing, fabrication and installation can be included within an agreed scope.

Can installation be planned around production?

Yes. Provide operating restrictions and shutdown dates early so access and installation requirements can be reviewed.

What information is needed for a quote?

Provide photographs, drawings, dimensions, site location, intended use and any known access, shutdown or compliance requirements.

Design inputs for industrial access

Provide the tasks operators and maintenance teams need to perform, equipment dimensions, loads, clearances, site photographs and known project requirements. Applicable AS 1657 requirements are confirmed within the approved design and scope.

Connect access planning with structural supports, fabrication and plant maintenance. Installation around existing equipment can be planned for an agreed maintenance window.
