SnoPUD needed to update or create safe, IBC-compliant access to three main areas for employees and the public. SnoPUD operates year-round in the Pacific Northwest. They required rugged access solutions that would not weaken like wood solutions or rust like steel solutions. The access units would need to stand up to slippery weather conditions. Jessica Raab Holmgren, Project Manager for Facilities, Engineering, and Grounds at SnoPUD, contacted Work Safe Access for an engineering site review of three critical areas: the generators, the industrial recycling containers, and a publicly-accessible loading dock. Work Safe Access provided a site survey and recommendations. There were several customizations and retro-fitting that were included in the project. All-access systems were manufactured and installed in less than one week from the receipt of the project order. Constant generator uptime is mission-critical for SnoPUD. In any weather condition, staff must be able to quickly and safely access the massive machinery with ease. Perforated, self-draining aluminum treads and platforms eliminate pooling and provide a non-slip surface. Work Safe Access solutions are designed to provide the safest environment possible.
