Water Towers

While water towers are important to many municipal water systems, they also present significant fall hazards. Municipal water tower maintenance activities such as inspection, sandblasting, and painting require a comprehensive fall prevention strategy, which includes the proper mix of water tower fall protection equipment, a descent and rescue plan, personnel training, and partnering with a fall protection company that appreciates the unique nature of your access points and potential fall hazards.

We are a complete turnkey provider of fall protection systems designed for the municipal water industry and have the years of design and installation experience in this market sector. Contact us for expert assistance with your fall arrest, fall restraint and fall protection requirements.

Design Considerations

Water Tower Fall Protection Design Considerations Because the primary maintenance areas are elevated above ground level, ladder systems are common water fixtures on most water towers. Ladder systems can be internally housed, but more typically, the service platforms on water towers are accessed using external ladder systems that are exposed to the corrosive effects of the elements. In addition to water, internal ladder systems are subjected to chlorine exposure. The tank area is accessed using a perimeter catwalk, while the top of the dome itself is reached using a curved or radial style ladder. In addition to OSHA regulations, most water tower installations are also subject to local safety codes which vary by municipality. Ladders equipped with vertical lifeline systems protect maintenance personnel from fall hazards as they make their way from the ground level to the perimeter catwalk surrounding the tank. Special care must be taken to protect workers as they transition from the ladder to the work platform, which in most cases, utilizes a guardrail system. In addition, a cable tie off system that takes into account the curvature of the tank must be installed to provide safe access. The corrosive effects of water, chlorine, and airborne elements makes stainless steel an ideal material selection for water tower fall protection systems. Our vast knowledge of local code provisions, personnel training, and experience installing OSHA compliant water tower fall protection systems will keep your facility, and more importantly, your maintenance staff safe.
