Tackling tunnel-based tasks poses unique challenges, such as the need for close proximity to work areas and the management of spatial constraints. SafeSmart’s Cantilevered Tunnel Sill Access Platforms are specifically designed to address these challenges, providing a cantilevered section that enables workers to get up close to work areas, as well as space on the platform for tool and equipment storage.
Specifically, crews installing electrical brackets and cabling in road tunnels faced challenges in accessing walls over concrete barriers to reach the installation point.
These long access platforms, with a large overhanging cantilevered section on the tunnel wall side, allowed them to get up close to the work area and to use the space on the platform to store tools and equipment. These platforms are designed to be quickly moved up the tunnel wall by one person and quickly foot-locked into position, and are found to be much more efficient than utilising EWPs.
These have been used in numerous tunnelling projects across Sydney and Melbourne to facilitate the electrical and mechanical installation stage of projects.
Usage Scenarios
SafeSmart’s Cantilevered Tunnel Sill Access Platforms are innovative and adaptable solutions for:
- Service Installation: Ideal for installing services on tunnel walls, the platforms can be customised with a side cantilever or hook ladders for various service layouts.
- Maintenance and Inspection: They facilitate safe and effortless access for maintenance crews, allowing close-up interactions with the tunnel wall side, which is crucial for inspection and repair work.
- Quick Mobility: With the ability to be mobilised quickly by a single person, these platforms are significantly more efficient and safer than conventional methods. This ease of movement is crucial in minimising downtime and increasing productivity on-site.
For tackling the unique demands of tunnel-based projects, choose SafeSmart’s Cantilevered Tunnel Sill Access Platforms—available off the shelf or customised to meet your specific needs. Whether you’re installing electrical systems or conducting maintenance, these platforms provide essential proximity and storage space to enhance efficiency and safety.
