It’s been another incredibly busy week at Haywood Engineering Ltd, with this latest fabrication and installation project completed today for a valued customer of ours.
This project involved the fabrication and installation of a new elevated access platform, an additional lower-level walkway and two smaller access platforms, all designed to improve accessibility and provide safer working conditions for plant operatives.
One of the more challenging aspects of this job was the main elevated platform, we had to work around the existing plant and machinery, developing a practical solution on site, including installing additional supporting steelwork to accommodate the new structure.
The finished installation includes:
🔹 A bespoke elevated access platform with galvanised flooring and safety handrails.
🔹 Fixed access ladder complete with a self-closing safety gate.
🔹 Additional walkway installed beneath the main platform.
🔹 Two smaller access platform extensions, allowing operators to access equipment safely without having to reach over existing handrails.
This is exactly the kind of engineering work we enjoy! Taking an idea or a problem, working out the best practical solution and seeing it through from fabrication to installation.
It’s also brilliant to see businesses continuing to invest in improving workplace safety for their employees. Sometimes relatively small modifications can make a huge difference to the people operating and maintaining machinery every day.
We’re delighted with how this project has turned out, and it’s another great example of the variety of work we undertake at Haywood Engineering Ltd.
A big thank you to our client for their continued trust and support!
