There are two tanks in the UC Boiler House that require regular access to the top for maintenance and servicing purposes. The non-pressurised tank has ladder access to the top, however it doesn’t meet the modern health and safety requirements (e.g., no anchor points). Alternative maintenance access options compliant with the current health and safety requirements need to be provided. In addition, a port hole access at the bottom of the tank shall be designed and installed.
The second tank is a pressurised tank with valves and gauges atop the tank that require maintenance access. This tank cannot be welded to, as it is pressure vessel. It also has a domed-top, making ladder access not feasible (unsafe). A temporary scaffolding is required on an annual basis to service the valves. A permanent access solution shall provide a long-term, readily available access option. There are also two gantries nearby, which with some extensions could provide safe access to both tanks.
UC will engage an engineering contractor with proven capability and depth of experience in design, fabrication and installation of industrial safety and access solutions to design, fabricate and install compliant access solutions in the boiler house.
The Successful Respondent will be required to design, manufacture and install a feasible solution.
