Structural Design for Industrial Platforms & Stairs in an Operational Facility in Ireland

Project Snapshot • Project type: Industrial platforms and access structures • Location: Ireland • Region: EU • Client type: Industrial Client • Structural system: Secondary steel framing • Scope of work: ◦ Structural design for platforms, stairs, and secondary steel, Retrofit-focused connection design, Engineering calculations and detailing support The Challenge • The project involved working within an existing operational facility, with limited access and space • Structural designs needed to adapt to as-built conditions rather than ideal layouts • Installation had to be planned to minimise disruption to ongoing operations • The client required a flexible, site-adaptable design solution Our Engineering Approach • We developed site-specific structural designs based on existing conditions and constraints • Secondary steel framing was carefully laid out to fit within restricted spaces • Connection design was tailored to accommodate installation within live operational areas • Design solutions were reviewed with installation sequencing and safety considerations in mind • All engineering was delivered in accordance with Eurocodes Tools & Deliverables • Structural design calculations for secondary steel elements • Detailed structural drawings suitable for retrofit installation • Connection details adapted for site constraints Results & Value Delivered • Enabled installation with minimal disruption to ongoing operations • Delivered safe, compliant access structures within tight spatial constraints • Reduced site modifications through accurate, adaptable design • Supported efficient execution in a live industrial environment Value to the Client • Delivered retrofit-focused structural engineering • Reduced operational and installation risk • Provided practical, site-aware design solutions • Demonstrated strong experience in EU industrial retrofit projects
