Combining Heavy-Duty Plant Access with Integrated Screening
RJW Metalworks fabricates elevated platforms and service gantries that span above utility plant while maintaining the clearances needed for inspection, maintenance and equipment access.
Where a cleaner external appearance or additional asset protection is required, the structural frame can be detailed and pre-drilled to receive a coordinated cladding or screening system.
Structural Platforms Detailed for the Complete Installation
Elevated and clad gantry packages can include:
- High-capacity elevated platforms
- Access stairs and walkways
- Galvanized structural sub-frames
- Columns positioned around service zones
- Pre-drilled cladding support details
- Open-mesh flooring and guardrails
- Interfaces for external screening systems
Typical applications include:
- Backup utility plant
- External machinery installations
- Service gantries above operating equipment
- Screened maintenance platforms
- Exposed heavy-use industrial locations
Maintaining Equipment Clearance Below the Structure
A platform above live plant must carry access loads without obstructing doors, panels or maintenance zones beneath it. RJW coordinates the column footprint and support framing around the equipment envelope, leaving practical working clearances. Early integration of cladding fixing points allows the finished structure to combine robust engineering with a tidy, concealed external treatment.
Coordinated Steelwork for Plant and Architectural Interfaces
RJW can deliver the structural platform, access elements and prepared cladding interfaces as one coordinated fabrication package. Contact our team to discuss the machinery footprint, required access levels and intended screening finish.
