Connecting Bulk Storage Assets with Safe, Centralised Access
RJW Metalworks provides high-level walkway and staircase systems for industrial tank farms and bulk-liquid storage installations, giving operators a safe route to valves, instruments, inspection hatches and associated equipment.
Walkways can link multiple horizontal tanks from a central access point, with support frames shaped and positioned to clear curved vessel profiles and surrounding containment areas.
Tank Access Designed Around the Asset
Bespoke storage-access packages can include:
- Interconnecting high-level walkways
- Central access staircases and landings
- Radius-matched support frames
- Independent legs spanning tank profiles
- Open-mesh flooring and guardrails
- Intermediate platforms for low-level tanks
- Access to fill and dispensing positions
Typical applications include:
- Fuel storage installations
- Chemical and process tank farms
- Tank-top valve maintenance
- Instrumentation inspection routes
- Linked access across multiple assets
Protecting Vessel Integrity While Improving Access
A well-planned tank-access system must provide accurate working heights and clear maintenance routes without transferring unsuitable loads into the vessel shell. RJW can develop independent support steelwork that carries walkway loads down to the structural base or reinforced containment area, while maintaining clearance around tank profiles, valves and operating equipment.
Durable Steelwork for Outdoor Storage Environments
RJW fabricates tank-access infrastructure for exposed, heavy-use industrial settings, with hot-dip galvanizing available for long-term corrosion protection. If you need to connect storage assets or improve maintenance access around a tank installation, our team can help develop a practical steelwork solution.
