Structures and Access

Engineering Support for Industrial Structures

ATLUS designs industrial structures that support equipment and provide safe access for the people who operate it. Work ranges from access platforms & stair towers to equipment-support steelwork & portal frames.

Each design combines structural analysis with fabrication and installation knowledge so it can be built efficiently and perform as intended on site.

Typical Challenges

  • A shield outline with a check mark inside, symbolizing security or protection.

    Designing for Safe Access

    Ensuring compliant & ergonomic access for personnel in operational environments.

  • Outline drawing of a bridge with a large central support and a smaller support on each side.

    Supporting Heavy Equipment

    Designing steelwork to safely support equipment, pipework & dynamic operational loads.

  • Outline drawing of two office buildings, one taller than the other, with multiple windows, depicted in dark blue on a white background.

    Live Environments

    Integrating new structures around live operations with limited space & restricted access.

  • Line graph with upward trend and a checkmark on a clipboard.

    Verifying Performance

    Validating designs to ensure strength, stability & serviceability.
