18 m composite walkway — chemical industry
Feasibility study for an 18 m span composite walkway in a corrosive chemical-industry environment.
Context
Feasibility study for an 18 m span composite walkway for the chemical industry. The element sits in a highly corrosive environment: material selection and manufacturing processes must account for that constraint. The critical challenge is technical — such a span requires optimising the design to limit deflection.
Approach
Design-office scope: design and structural sizing. Interfaces with the client and industrial subcontractors to align technical and manufacturing options.
Result
Technical feasibility confirmed, with architecture proposals and deflection calculation results.
