Platforms, catwalks & mezzanines

Equipment is only as well maintained as it is easy to reach. We design, build and install the platforms, catwalks, stairs and ladders that get your crew to it, engineered around your equipment rather than ordered from a catalog.

Custom Engineered Access Platforms

Every access platform begins with careful engineering and equipment-specific design. DCG develops custom platform layouts around equipment dimensions, service access points, operating clearances, and facility requirements. From platform elevations and support locations to ladder access, handrails, and walking surfaces, each structure is designed to provide safe, practical access for equipment operation and routine maintenance. Detailed drawings allow each component to be engineered and coordinated before fabrication begins.

Engineered Stairs, Ladders & Catwalks

DCG designs and fabricates custom stairs, ladders, catwalks, and elevated walkways to integrate with industrial equipment and existing facility layouts. Each structure is engineered with consideration for elevations, clearances, structural support, and personnel access. Using detailed fabrication drawings, our team builds these assemblies in our Indianapolis shop, incorporating galvanized grating, steel framing, handrails, and support structures as required. The result is a coordinated access solution designed for the equipment and the environment where it will be installed.

Custom Industrial Stair Systems

DCG builds heavy-duty industrial stair systems that provide dependable access to elevated equipment and process areas. These installations incorporate steel stair stringers, grated or industrial tread surfaces, elevated landings, and continuous handrails. Each assembly is built to accommodate the demands of industrial environments while providing convenient access for operators and maintenance personnel.

Industrial Steel Fabrication

From structural supports and stair assemblies to handrails and galvanized grating, DCG fabricates the components needed for complete industrial access systems. Our shop-built assemblies combine precision fabrication with durable materials and construction details suited for demanding facility environments. Components are prepared in our Indianapolis shop and delivered for installation at the project site.

Equipment Access & Integration

Access structures are installed to work around existing equipment, structural steel, and facility constraints. DCG provides custom stairways and elevated access solutions that connect operators and maintenance personnel to critical equipment locations. Whether supporting a new dust collection installation or improving access to existing equipment, we provide coordinated fabrication and installation from start to finish.
