Trans Canada - Saddle Hills 16" Blowdown Valve Access Platform

Arctech Welding + Machining Ltd. was requested to procure through our long standing relationship with Macro Industries a 16” Blowdown Valve Platform at the TCPL Saddle Hills Site.

Arctech worked directly with the Project Coordinator, as well as several key workers on site, to help design, fabricate and install a safety platform at each site. Our scope of work was all inclusive; we were responsible to design the platforms, engage an Engineer, and assess and measure the locations. Upon design approval from Spectra Energy, Arctech worked through the shop detailed drawing process, material procurement, fabrication and coating. Additionally, we facilitated the shipping and on-site installation of the platforms at their respective sites. Due to space availability, and the height of the platforms, traditional access stairs or ladders would not suffice; instead, an alternating tread stair was required. Although this type of stair was completely new to our shop detailer, supervisors, project managers and welders, Arctech's final product turned out great, was installed with ease, and everyone who has used them since has been very happy with the outcome.
