Heater & Vessel Specialist Access Platforms

Following multiple discussions with our valued clients in the industry, it became evident that if we could design bespoke access systems which would allow for safe and quick access to the internal areas of heaters, vessels and similar structures, it would solve a major area of concern for turnaround engineers. As time is of a premium during busy turnarounds, if the proposed access solution could allow for detailed inspections and any follow-on repairs then so much more could be achieved when compared with traditional scaffolding access options.

As a result of exhaustive research and development, and led by our in-house structural engineers, Zenith is delighted to have brought to the market place a safe, innovative world leading access solution which proves to be both time saving and extremely cost effective.

We are industry leaders in the design, installation and operation of bespoke innovative temporary suspended access platforms to gain full internal access in heaters and vessels during refinery turnarounds, particularly where time is at a premium. Comprehensive confined space control protocols are implemented. 

Typically the access platforms can be installed within an extremely short period allowing more time for detailed inspections and repairs.

Heater & Vessel Access (Trial Builds)

As part of Zenith’s safe and innovative service to provide time and cost effective specialist access platforms for the internal inspection and repair of heaters, vessels and similar structures, under the oversight of our world leading structural engineers, we perform trial builds in advance to ensure efficient construction during the turnaround. Our on-site team benefit from trial build as the same team are allocated for the actual installation thereby facilitating minimal delays.

Temporary Works Design

From our core values – Design, Innovate & Excellence, our ability to solve technical challenges presented from unusual requests is exemplary. We are, on a day to day basis, continually seeking for new ways to overcome the most complex of engineering challenges.

From providing bespoke access and support solutions over some of the most historical structures in the city of Edinburgh and beyond to designing temporary access decks to large marine jetties, we are continually looking to innovate our designs by utilising modern access techniques and material.

Due to our experience and exposure in the industrial sectors we fully understand how down time and outage works affects process and cost. We aim to complete our designs with the minimum disruption at site level and interface closely with the Clients operations teams to fully understand the design brief from the outset.

Lifting Design

In conjunction with our engineering, design and modelling capabilities, Zenith Consultants are able to offer solutions for complex rigging and lifting projects.

As full members of the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association, LEEA, we design and detail bespoke fabrications and solutions to our international customer base.

Where precise control, movement and weight measurement is required we are also capable of designing hydraulic lifting and sliding systems.
