Helicoidal stairs for tanks

TLC tank staircases are specially designed to provide safe and reliable access to industrial tanks of various sizes. They are essential in facilitating maintenance, inspection, and service work for tanks used in different industries such as petrochemicals, food processing, water treatment, and energy. Built with durability and safety in mind, these stairs meet the highest industrial standards and can be customized to the specific requirements of each installation.

Usage

 TLC’s helicoidal staircases are suitable for various types of tanks, including:

  • Bioenergy tanks: Providing safe and efficient access to bioenergy storage and processing tanks for routine inspections and maintenance of equipment.
  • Storage tanks: For large storage tanks, the spiral design allows operators to easily access different levels of the tank while minimizing the footprint of the staircase.
  • Chemical and petrochemical tanks: Ensuring compliance with strict safety standards, our staircases provide access to tanks storing hazardous chemicals or petrochemicals.

Advantages of helicoidal Stairs

 
  • Space-efficient design
    One of the most significant advantages of helicoidal staircases is their space-saving design. The spiral configuration allows them to wrap around the exterior of the tank, requiring far less ground space compared to traditional straight staircases. This is particularly beneficial for facilities where every square meter of space counts.
  • Enhanced accessibility
    Helicoidal stairs provide continuous, easy access to various levels of the tank. Whether for routine inspections or emergency access, these stairs allow personnel to reach control and measuring instruments without the need for ladders or scaffolding. This is crucial for tanks where frequent access to upper levels is required.
  • Low maintenance
    Helicoidal staircases from TLC are built to last with minimal maintenance required. The materials used are resistant to corrosion, wear, and environmental stressors, ensuring that the staircases retain their structural integrity and safety features over time. This reduces the need for frequent repairs or replacements, saving both time and operational costs for your facility.

FAQ

Yes, TLC helicoidal stairs are designed in accordance with international safety standards such as PN ISO 14122, ensuring safe access to tanks and compliance with workplace safety regulations.

TLC offers comprehensive corrosion protection options for helicoidal stairs, tailored to withstand diverse environmental challenges. Our primary solution involves hot-dip galvanization, providing robust protection against corrosion, particularly suited for harsh conditions and chemical industry environments. However, this is just one of several protective options available for steel structures. For carbon steel, we offer: Hot-dip galvanization for high resistance to corrosion, Powder coating, adding an additional protective layer with excellent adhesion and finish, Spray painting, allowing for versatile application and color options. Our anti-corrosion measures can be customized based on the corrosivity category of the environment in compliance with ISO 9223 and the desired durability period in line with ISO 12944 standards. For projects involving stainless steel, we also apply passivation to enhance the natural corrosion resistance of the material, ensuring long-lasting durability and aesthetic quality in challenging conditions. These options provide our clients with flexibility in meeting project-specific requirements, guaranteeing that our helicoidal stairs offer maximum resilience and longevity.
