Tank & Water Reservoir
Storage tanks and water reservoirs require climbing the shell and working around vents and hatches at the top — over a hard, curved surface with no edge protection.
- Climbing fixed tank ladders to the roof of the tank.
- Work at the vent, hatch and gauging points on a curved roof.
- No natural anchorage on the tank surface.
We retrofit tank ladders with vertical fall-arrest systems and install engineered roof anchors and lifelines for work at the vent and hatch.
Access platforms and guardrail surrounds make the working area on top of the tank safe and code-compliant.
Recommended systems
The fall protection systems we most often specify for this application.
Ladder Fall Arrest Systems
Rigid-rail and cable vertical fall-arrest systems that let workers climb fixed ladders hands-free with continuous attachment.
View systemAnchor Points & Lifelines
Roof anchors, davit arms, and horizontal/vertical lifelines — designed, fabricated and installed in-house, with annual recertification.
View systemPlatforms & Gangways
Work platforms, access gangways and mobile stairs that bridge the gap to trucks, railcars, tanks and equipment.
