Rechiller Roof Access Stairs
At Ramco Solutions, we pride ourselves on providing top-tier design, fabrication, and installation services for industrial environments. Recently, we completed a custom stairway project at a poultry processing plant that highlights our expertise and commitment to safety and quality.
The Challenge
The plant had an old alternating-tread stair system that was becoming increasingly inefficient and difficult to navigate. The stairway connected three different roof levels, but its steep incline and narrow steps made it challenging for workers to move between levels quickly and safely. The client needed a safer, more functional solution that could handle the rigorous demands of the plant, without compromising on space or accessibility.
The Solution
Ramco Solutions designed and installed a custom staircase featuring two landings to improve ease of use and safety. Our design allows seamless connection between the three roof levels, replacing the outdated stair system with a more practical and OSHA-compliant structure.
Key features of the stairway include:
- RAMCOAT Non-Slip Coating: Safety was paramount for this project, and we incorporated our proprietary non-slip metalized coating, RAMCOAT, onto each step. This coating ensures that workers have excellent traction, even in wet or greasy conditions often found in poultry processing environments.
- Seamless Integration: The new stairway integrates perfectly into the existing platform, ensuring minimal disruption to operations. By working closely with the client, we were able to match the design and material requirements for a flawless fit.
- OSHA-Compliant Handrails: As always, safety is our top priority. The stairs feature OSHA-compliant handrails to provide additional support and ensure the safety of every worker using the stairway.
Smooth Installation
To minimize downtime for the plant, we planned the installation over a weekend, ensuring the project was completed without interfering with weekday production. We also coordinated the use of a crane to lift and position the stair sections precisely into place, making the installation as efficient as possible.
This project showcases our ability to not only design and fabricate custom solutions but also manage logistics and installation with precision. Whether it’s replacing outdated systems or creating entirely new structures, Ramco Solutions is dedicated to delivering quality, safety, and reliability in every project.
