Specifications

Access Door Platform:

11.2Add the following paragraph in the Access section: There shall be an access platform at the base of the tower extending from the vertical lad- der to the endwall access door. The platform shall be galvanized steel bar grating, supported by galvanized steel framework attached to the tower. The platform shall be surrounded by a guardrail, kneerail, and toeboard.

Plenum Walkway

11.2Add the following paragraph in the Access section: Provide a factory- installed, galvanized steel bar grating walkway extending from one endwall access door to the other endwall. This walkway shall be supported by a gal- vanized steel framework, and the top of the grating shall be at or above the cold water basin overflow level.

Interior Mechanical Equipment

Access Platform NC8303 thru NC8309

11.2Add the following paragraph in the Access section: A factory-installed, elevated galvanized bar grating plat- form convenient to the care and main- tenance of the tower's mechanical equipment shall be provided.

Interior Mechanical Equipment

Access Platform NC8310 thru NC8312

11.2Add the following paragraph in the Access section: An internal ladder shall extend upward from the plenum walkway to an elevated galvanized bar grating platform convenient to the care and maintenance of the tower's mechanical equipment. The platform shall be surrounded by a sturdy guard- rail and kneerail system.

Specification Value

■Where towers are installed on an elevated grillage or piers, it is often difficult to get to—and through—the access door conve- niently. This platform provides easy, safe and comfortable access to that door. It also extends beyond the door to provide ready access to the optional Control System. See drawing on page 12.

Outside the tower, stainless steel platform material is not normal- ly considered necessary. If you air quality is sufficiently poor to warrant stainless steel, change the specification wording accord- ingly.

NOTE

OSHA and other concerned authorities are in the process of developing guidelines regarding the safety procedures and protective equipment that should be provided maintenance per- sonnel who are required to go inside cooling towers. We feel it advisable to provide for as much maintenance as possible from outside the cooling tower and, to that end, offer such options as Guardrail and Ladder—pg 11, Ladder Extension—pg 11, Ladder Safety Cage—pg 11, Access Door Platform—pg 13, and Motor Out of the Airstream—pg 18. Such interior convenience options as Plenum Walkway—pg 13, that are offered are not meant as an invitation to perform inside maintenance. They are intended solely to maximize the comfort and safety of maintenance per- sonnel during the performance of any inside work may become necessary.
