Cantilevered platform accessing PH metering sensor

ErectaStep cantilevered work platform installation at a Energy facility to access pH sensors safely

This custom ErectaStep cantilevered work platform extends safely out over the water to bring technicians directly to the pH metering sensors, eliminating the old “lean over the handrail” approach and providing a stable, OSHA-compliant work zone for sampling, cleaning, and calibration tasks. Built from corrosion-resistant aluminum with aggressive, slip-resistant treads and full-height guardrails, the modular access platform is supported with heavy-duty knee bracing, allowing the deck to project beyond the existing structure while maintaining the load capacity needed for tools, test equipment, and personnel. As part of the facility’s broader water and wastewater safety strategy, this installation demonstrates how ErectaStep’s pre-engineered, bolt-together components can be configured to quickly solve complex over-water access challenges, eliminating the need for custom fabrication, while improving long-term compliance and worker confidence in effluent pH monitoring and environmental discharge control.
