Steel Platform Design & Structural Detailing Services
Structural design of access platforms, equipment platforms, walkways, maintenance structures, steel ladders, handrails and grating systems for industrial facilities in Saudi Arabia.
SLETEC provides structural design of steel platforms for industrial facilities in Saudi Arabia, covering access platforms, equipment platforms, maintenance platforms, operational platforms, roof platforms, working platforms, walkways and grating platforms. Steel platforms are essential structures for safe access, operation and maintenance of equipment at elevated levels in oil & gas plants, petrochemical facilities and industrial sites across KSA.
Our structural engineering scope includes AISC 360 design, wind and seismic load analysis per ASCE 7, connection design, grating layout drawings for steel and GRP grating, handrail and guardrail detailing, canopy and shelter structures, and platform FEA for special or complex load cases. All platform structural calculations are issued as part of the deliverable package.
SLETEC delivers platform design packages for EPC and brownfield plant clients in Jubail, Dammam, Yanbu and Riyadh, providing full structural packages from GA drawing through connection detail, grating layout and fabrication drawing.
Engineering documentation prepared with reference to API, ASME, AISC, AWS, ISO, Saudi Aramco, SABIC and client project specifications where applicable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of steel platforms does SLETEC design?
SLETEC designs a full range of steel platform types including access platforms, equipment platforms, maintenance platforms, operational platforms, roof platforms, working platforms, walkways and grating platforms. Platform design covers steel grating and GRP grating systems, handrails, guardrails, kick plates, toe plates, steel ladders, caged ladders and industrial canopies and shelters.
Does the platform package include handrail, guardrail and grating?
Yes. SLETEC's platform design package includes handrail and guardrail detailing to applicable safety standards, grating layout drawing for steel or GRP grating, kick plate and toe plate details, and stair, landing and mezzanine detailing where required. The complete fabrication drawing set is issued for workshop fabrication.
Can SLETEC perform structural FEA on platforms?
Yes. SLETEC performs platform structural FEA for special load cases including blast loads, dynamic loads, seismic verification and platforms with complex geometry that falls outside standard code design. FEA is performed in ANSYS and results are provided in a calculation report with summary and conclusion.
What standards govern platform design in Saudi Arabia?
Steel platform design in Saudi Arabia is governed by AISC 360 (Specification for Structural Steel Buildings), ASCE 7 (Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures) for wind and seismic loading, AWS D1.1 for welding, and OSHA 1926.502 for fall protection and guardrail requirements. Projects may also reference BS 5950 or EN 1993 (Eurocode 3) depending on client specification.
