Rear Unit Access Platform
A public-safe access-platform case study based on a rear-unit walkway arrangement. The design combines two stair access points, offset landing geometry, grated walkway sections, handrail protection, base supports, and fabrication-ready drawing structure.
Project Overview
This rear-unit access platform was modelled as a coordinated SolidWorks assembly for safe maintenance access around fixed plant and building interfaces. The package resolves stair entry points, handrail continuity, support-foot positions, grated panels, and fabrication documentation.
Project Category
Rear unit access platform

Public-safe case study prepared
Engineering Challenge
The challenge was coordinating an offset platform route with clear access from both ends while keeping the assembly practical for fabrication, transport, and installation. Public presentation also required removal of project identifiers and internal drawing references.
Design Solution
The solution uses a modular steel platform with twin stair access, grated deck panels, continuous guarding, bolted support feet, and redacted fabrication drawings. The website package includes a render, GLB model, and public-safe fabrication PDF.
Key Features
- Twin stair access points connected by an offset grated platform route
- Continuous handrail guarding and edge protection around the access zone
- Support feet and base plates coordinated with the platform geometry
- Fabrication-ready assembly structure prepared for shop-floor interpretation
- Public-safe render, GLB model, and redacted fabrication drawing pack
Project Deliverables
- SolidWorks assembly and web-ready GLB export
- Clean hero render for public presentation
- Redacted fabrication drawing PDF
- Confidential client and drawing identifiers removed
