Walkways over pipework on Roof

admin

Hi all,Just a few pictures of what i've been doing the past couple of days they are for Gatwick Airport and go over some pipework on the roof of a building, Made the sides out of mild steel and the Handrails From galvanized tubes and Kee Clamps. I only put a few treads on just to support the stringers, the second one is a much smaller version with a built in ladder, Again, handrail and grab bars made from Galvanized tube and kee clampsThey've kept me busy the past few days, and i've enjoyed doing them, Just need to dismantle them and send the mild steel sections to the galvanizers tommorrow.So heres the first long one...Love my Mag drill See my Miller Blu Pac 450 amps of pure Power, i love that welder !!

Reply:Part 2 Day 2 Oh well here's the second one i did, Its a bit smaller and instead of having the treads going up on an incline, this one has a built in ladder and galvanized grab bars to go in a much narrower environment, all good fun !!You start with a Basic FrameMag Drill Porn !!I love mag drills, They are just so handySeems a shame to dismantle it
Reply:Neat project. That mag drill is cool. I hope the roof is as straight as your floor.

Reply:Cool stuff. When I see the ladder-style, it pisses me off, 9/10 you have to hump your 40lb tool bag up a 40' roof hatch, then across a gravel roof, only to find yet more ladders to get over the "pipe fence". I prefer the step style, but thats cuz Im lazy.
