- Project: Industrial steel access stair on sloping terrain
- Sector: Industrial access
- Scope: Structural design, CAD modelling and fabrication documentation
The brief
This project covered the design and CAD modelling of an industrial steel access stair for installation on sloping terrain. The stair needed to give safe, durable and reliable pedestrian access in an industrial environment, on ground that doesn't sit level.
Our engineering approach
The structure uses galvanised steel stringers, Webforge grating stair treads, intermediate landings, reinforced concrete foundations, tubular handrails and bolted steel connections. The design was developed in accordance with the relevant Australian Standards for industrial platforms, walkways and stairways, and for structural steel construction.
Particular attention was given to practical fabrication, constructability and modular assembly. Connection arrangements and structural components were modelled in detail to reflect real-world industrial construction practice, so the stair could be fabricated off site and assembled efficiently.
Outcome
The client received a complete, production-ready set of CAD documentation for fabrication and construction, demonstrating our capability in industrial access systems, structural steel detailing and engineering design.
