Water Utilities Infrastructure

Complex infrastructure systems supply clean water to populations around the world, as well as processing and disposing of various forms of wastewater after it's used. Treatment plants, storage vessels, pumping substations, and miles of pipes and tunnels keep it all flowing without interruption.

The workers who keep these infrastructures operating and the municipalities who employ them must be familiar with the safest work practices and equipment. Tractel^® offers confined space safety equipment, material handling hoists, fall protection products, and evacuation and rescue devices.

Strong anchor points are required by water utility workers performing in confined spaces. Each anchor point should be capable of supporting multiple workers and their gear.

These anchor points may be in the form of a permanent or semi-permanent mast or boom-style device, a horizontal lifeline system within or above the enclosed space, or a portable tripod set up over a manhole or shaft.

To move tools, equipment, and people in and out of workspaces, workers rely on a range of equipment, particularly hoists. When planning a job, select equipment that can easily handle the potential weight of workers and equipment, as well as operating under the conditions of the job site.

Moisture, lack of reliable electrical power, and confined space requirements should all be considered. Detailed below are some of the most useful and reliable lifting equipment for water utility work.
