The Challenge Equinix, a global leader in digital infrastructure, faced ongoing challenges in safely maintaining their fuel storage tanks, which are approximately 9 feet above ground level. These tanks are critical for supporting their data equipment, requiring frequent maintenance. The company needed an immediate, efficient solution to enhance accessibility and ensure the safety of their personnel while minimizing downtime. The Solution SafeSmart Access provided an engineered solution tailored to Equinix’s needs: an access bridge connecting the fuel storage tanks. Key features of the design include: Pre-Galvanized Guardrails: Edge-protected guardrails bolted directly into the concrete slab for maximum stability. Universal Components: An industry-standard approach to avoid the need for costly customization . Ease of Installation: A simplified, straightforward design expedited the project timeline while maintaining strict safety compliance. This design ensures Equinix personnel can safely and efficiently access and maintain their fuel storage tanks, mitigating the risks associated with traditional access methods. HOW WE STAND OUT SafeSmart’s approach stood out due to its focus on providing a streamlined and practical alternative to traditional methods: Cost-Effective Solution: A value-engineered design that meets safety standards without additional customization or complexity. Simplified Installation: Universalized components allowed for a smooth and efficient installation process. Enhanced Stability: Bolting the guardrails directly into the concrete slab added durability and strength to the system. SUSTAINING SUCCESS SafeSmart Access ensured long-term success for Equinix by employing a thorough and systematic project development process: On-Site Data Collection: Comprehensive logistics planning to identify where and how the units would be set and installed. Precision Measurements: Accurate measurements of length, width, and height to ensure a perfect fit for the guardrails and bridge. Detailed Site Analysis: Captured photos to highlight obstructions and existing conditions. Advanced LiDAR Scanning: Used pulsed lasers to measure distances and create an accurate 3D model of the work

When our client came to us with a unique access challenge, we knew that a one-size-fits-all solution wouldn’t cut it. They needed a way to efficiently connect their ground level to an upper roof while also providing access between two rooftop levels. Enter SafeSmart Access, where custom solutions and precise fitment are our specialty. The Challenge The customer’s requirements were clear: Safe and efficient access between roof levels. A compact footprint to ensure the system didn’t intrude excessively from the building. Compliance with OSHA standards for rooftop safety, including the use of guardrails to prevent fall hazards. The Solution We delivered a tailored system that combined: Standard 45° Stairs: The AdaptaStep system provided safe, easy access from the ground to the upper roof, ensuring two means of access to meet safety standards. Custom Parallel Design: For the ground-to-upper roof connection, we designed a staircase that runs parallel to the building. This minimized the system’s footprint while still delivering the strength and stability required for frequent use. Non-Penetrative Rooftop Guardrails: To enhance rooftop safety without compromising the building’s structure, we incorporated our guardrail system, which offers robust protection without the need for intrusive installation methods. What Sets SafeSmart Apart Unlike conventional access systems, our solutions are built with customization at their core. Here’s how SafeSmart products stand out: Precision Fitment: We tailor every system to the customer’s requirements, ensuring optimal performance and satisfaction. Modular Versatility: Our systems adapt to your needs, not the other way around, offering flexibility for future adjustments or expansions. Compact Designs: By crafting a parallel stair system, we reduced the impact on the client’s usable space without sacrificing functionality or safety. A Satisfied Customer Thanks to our innovative designs, the client now enjoys: Seamless access between all roof levels. A compact, efficient system that integrates perfectly with

When it comes to construction sites, safe and efficient height access is non-negotiable. Traditional scaffolding and temporary wood stairs have long been the go-to solutions, but modern construction projects demand more streamlined, versatile, and reliable alternatives. Enter SafeSmart Access’s Z-Stack and AdjustaStairs — innovative solutions that outshine conventional options in terms of safety, speed, and efficiency. Z-Stack: Revolutionizing Vertical Access The Challenge with Scaffolding Stair Towers Scaffolding stair towers, while useful, come with significant drawbacks. They’re labor-intensive, require complex assembly, and can be costly in terms of time and manpower. Traditional systems also involve more on-site work and depend on optimal weather conditions to ensure safe installation. Why Z-Stack is SuperiorZ-Stack redefines site access with its modular design that can be pre-stacked and craned into place. This means fewer hours of on-site assembly and reduced reliance on large teams. Here’s why construction managers should choose Z-Stack: Lightweight but Strong: Built with high-strength T6, 6061 marine-grade aluminum, each module weighs just 480 lbs, making transportation and installation a breeze. Pre-Stacking Capability: The entire stair system can be pre-assembled off-site and moved into place, drastically cutting down installation time. Fast Installation: Z-Stack is pre-engineered to meet OSHA standards, ensuring both compliance and quick setup for permanent access or multi-level egress. Durable Construction: The rust-resistant aluminum structure is perfect for long-term projects or harsh outdoor conditions. Crane-Liftable: Easily adaptable to site needs, Z-Stack can be craned in as a single unit or installed module-by-module. Safety Certifications: Z-Stack meets stringent OSHA and ANSI standards, providing assurance of safety compliance and reducing the risk of workplace incidents. Cost Benefits: By minimizing on-site labor and assembly time, Z-Stack reduces project costs, translating to significant savings over traditional scaffolding solutions. In contrast, traditional stair towers made from scaffolding often require piecemeal assembly, leading to increased downtime and
