A local manufacturing company contacted us with a requirement to fabricate and install a platform staircase. The platform was needed to allow safe pedestrian access over the conveyors. This was deemed a high risk area to employees who were ducking under the conveyors which was a security and health risk, so these access platforms were designed to create a low risk area.
After meeting and discussing the project with the customer we took the appropriate measurements and checked all heights and clearances before starting. Halfway through the project we met with the customer who carried out a secondary check to ensure all measurements were accurate.
All materials were order through our ISO systems, requiring S355 steel, band saw, punch, guillotine and our qualified welder. The customer also confirmed the colour and type of paint that was to be used. This was 2 pack epoxy. We are one of the few engineering and fabrication companies that have our own dedicated spray booth and this was used to paint the final staircase.

Our ISO systems and CE Marking accreditation ensures that all our work is of the highest quality. Some advantages of our CE Marking are:
- With a CE Marking on your product you can trade safely within any EEA country.
- Claims for damages and liability will be limited as products will be provided with safety instructions for users.
- Products are safer for users.
- Improved product design. As we go through the steps for CE Marking we will do a thorough review of the product which will often highlight innovative solutions.
- Improve production rates. To conform to certain aspects of the directives we will undertake quality assurance tests which can present ways of simplifying the manufacturing process which will reduce costs.
The work was completed on time and on budget and we installed and checked the platform before leaving the premises. Our customer now benefits from having safe access to machinery.
Our premises are conveniently situated in the Heathfield Industrial Estate of Newton Abbot, Devon and we are experienced with a variety of commercial and industrial fabrication jobs delivered throughout the UK. For more information please contact us on 01626 835 951.
