TCB Industrial has been awarded a permanent maintenance platform fabrication and installation scope at an industrial facility in Northern California. Permanent access platforms are critical for reducing fall exposure, improving task efficiency, and eliminating reliance on temporary access solutions.
This award focuses on delivering a durable, engineered platform designed to support safe, repeatable maintenance activities.
Importance of permanent access solutions
Maintenance tasks performed at elevation carry increased risk when access is inconsistent or improvised. Permanent platforms provide stable footing, predictable reach, and integrated fall protection, allowing work to be performed more safely and efficiently.
Well-designed platforms also reduce setup time and support better ergonomics for routine inspections and service tasks.
Fabrication and installation approach
TCB’s execution begins with field verification to confirm elevations, attachment points, and clearance requirements. Platform components are fabricated to suit site-specific conditions, ensuring proper fit and load performance.
Installation sequencing is planned to minimize disruption to surrounding operations. Controlled lifting and positioning methods are used to place components accurately and safely.
Structural integrity and safety
Platforms are designed and installed to support live loads, environmental exposure, and repeated use. TCB emphasizes secure anchorage, consistent alignment, and integration with existing structures.
Handrails, toe boards, and walking surfaces are installed to provide comprehensive fall protection and safe movement paths.
Execution safety
Platform installation involves elevated work and lifting activities. TCB applies fall protection, tool control, and exclusion zones to manage these hazards throughout construction.
What this award represents
This project demonstrates TCB’s ability to deliver permanent access solutions that improve safety and maintainability. By providing engineered platforms, TCB helps facilities reduce long-term risk and improve maintenance efficiency.
