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.

ErectaStep stairs installed at an energy provider’s substation deliver safe, code-compliant access to a secondary containment area for diesel tanks. Previously, steep and handrail-free steps made navigation hazardous for maintenance crews. The new modular stair system was ordered on a Tuesday and delivered that Friday, demonstrating SafeRack’s ability to provide in-stock solutions within days. Installation required no custom engineering—parts arrived ready to assemble, saving critical project time and reducing downtime for the facility. With integrated handrails and slip-resistant surfaces, ErectaStep stairs ensure safe passage for crews performing tank inspections and maintenance, while achieving OSHA and EPA SPCC compliance.
