ErectaStep recently completed a major project involving the delivery and configuration of 25 stair and platform assemblies for installation on an FPSO vessel situated in the Mediterranean Sea. The aluminum construction of these platforms was specifically chosen for its durability in harsh maritime environments and resistance to rust and corrosion, ensuring a longer service life over traditional metal stairs. This quality makes ErectaStep products particularly well-suited for FPSO vessels, where exposure to salt air and challenging conditions is a constant factor.

Marine FPSO

The modular design of ErectaStep allowed for easy on-site assembly without welding or heavy equipment. This flexibility facilitated a smooth and efficient installation process, which was critical given the extensive equipment onboard the vessel. ErectaStep’s team played a crucial role in consulting, configuring the platforms to meet the specific requirements of various access points on the vessel, and providing comprehensive support in logistics and delivery.

Following the successful implementation of the initial 25 platforms, the project’s success and the reliability of ErectaStep’s solutions were further underscored by an additional order for 8 more platforms.

Applications of ErectaStep Products on the FPSO Vessel:

  • Gas Turbines Access
  • Essential Generator Fuel Gas Valve Access
  • Rich Meg Filter Access
  • Flash Gas Compressor Access
  • Produced Water Skid Panel Access
  • Sales Gas Compressor AFT and Port-side Access
  • Distribution Meg Filter Access
