The catwalk as structure and safety system.
CatwalkForge designs the catwalks and walkways that connect a facility: the grating, the leg bents that carry the span, and the guardrails that make it safe to walk. It sizes the structure and checks the access against OSHA.
A catwalk is a structure and a safety system at once. It spans between towers and bins under its own weight, the conveyor it carries, and the people on it, and its rails answer to OSHA 1910. CatwalkForge sizes the span and the bents, then checks the guardrails, midrails, and toeboards.
