ErectaStep stairs at an energy substation provide safe, compliant access for maintenance crews entering the secondary spill containment area to service diesel tanks in the tank farm.

A side angle highlights ErectaStep’s rapid-install modular stairs, engineered for rugged environments and tight space constraints at energy substations. This practical improvement replaced old steps without handrails and immediately addressed fall hazards and usability concerns in secondary containment zones. ErectaStep’s bolt-together aluminum components are designed for swift assembly without special labor or custom design—parts are in stock for fast turnaround. The upgrade ensures reliable, compliant access for maintenance professionals entering the diesel containment berm, protecting operations and crew safety.
