The situation
Construction on the level crossing removal works and other rail upgrades has been occurring throughout the Melbourne metro rail system since 2016. It is estimated, at completion, to have cost approx $6 billion.
In close proximity to the South Yarra Station heavy electrical boxes required a system enabling easy access. The system needed to be designed to support extreme weight and wind loads. A platform that could be hand installed was preferred to avoid any welding or hot works.

Solution
Kattsafe worked closely with John Holland to design and engineer a large platform. Our technical team attended on-site to assist with support and provided detailed shop drawings.
Specialised engineering was undertaken ensuring the modular access system had the required capacity to handle the wind and weight loads of the equipment.
Providing the client with a detailed installation manual which gives step by step guidance, John Holland personnel carried out the install with the Kattsafe team on standby should they encounter any problems with the project.
