At AGI Westeel, we understand that accessing the tops of steel aboveground tanks requires not only functionality but also unwavering attention to safety and adaptability. Our expertly engineered access systems are designed to meet the diverse needs of both horizontal cylindrical, horizontal rectangular and cylindrical vertical tanks, ensuring seamless access while maintaining a safe working environment.
Every AGI Westeel tank access system is tailored to your specific requirements, whether you need a cost-effective ladder or stair package, a simple ladder or stair system terminating at a platform, a full-length catwalk integrated into a site-specific access, or a complex multi-tank catwalk crossover solution. Our custom designs are built to enhance safety, durability, and efficiency, with options for side or end installations and configurations in both parallel and perpendicular orientations.
For horizontal and rectangular tanks, our catwalk systems typically extend partially or fully along the length of the tank in a lengthwise, straight-line design. These structures provide continuous access for maintenance and inspection while featuring safety rails and grated walking surfaces to prevent snow buildup and ensure superior traction, minimizing the risk of slipping in any weather condition.
Vertical tanks present unique access challenges, and AGI Westeel offers multiple solutions:
All AGI Westeel access systems are constructed with high-quality materials to withstand the rigors of industrial environments. Grated surfaces are standard, providing exceptional traction and allowing precipitation to pass through, reducing maintenance and enhancing worker safety. Optional designs adhere to rigorous OHSA/OH&S safety standards to protect your team and maximize operational efficiency.
