Atom Fabs Ltd were approched to design and build a new access platform and stairs for the Lamella tanks on site at Southwest Water's Yeoford site in Devon as part of a multi - million - pound scheme headed by Trant Engineering.
The project got underway by our design team who serveyed the site in July to enable them to produce General Arrangement drawings for the client working at all times with both Southwest Waters' and Trants standards to ensure compliance and to ensure the concept worked with the existing tanks, pipework and ansilaries. This site visit also allowed us to see first hand the challanging site access with single track on a 35- degree hill leading through cattle sheds something to plan for when the install time came.
Once the GA's had been approved the drawings were passed to our structual engineer for sign off and comment before we started the manufature of the platform in our Chard factory with all work to BS EN 1090, once welded cleaned and checked the steelwork was sent to Southwest Galvanisers for Hot dip Galvanising.
The site team took over proceedings in September and installed the compleated platform within the alloted time scale.
