## What this service helps resolve

Sites need platform and access details that are practical to fabricate and safe to install.

## Typical information to send

- Existing geometry or location sketches
- Site constraints
- Load and access requirements
- Photographs and rough measurements

## Deliverables

- Access platform drawings
- Fixing and connection details
- Step, handrail and guard specifications
- Revision-ready installation notes

## Set out the access route

Access-platform work starts with the route people, equipment or maintenance activity needs to take. Clarke CAD can set out the platform, stair, guard and supporting steelwork arrangement from supplied dimensions, photographs and known site constraints.

## Practical details to resolve

- Platform levels, approach and landing relationships
- Handrail, guard and step locations in the agreed layout
- Support-frame, fixing and connection positions
- Installation constraints that affect the arrangement

## Review and issue

The layout is reviewed as an arrangement first, then developed into the agreed drawing detail. This keeps the discussion on usable access geometry before the issue moves into individual fabrication information.

## Helpful information for a quote

Send site photographs, a sketch or existing layout, dimensions you trust, access requirements and any restriction that affects fitting or installation.
