Safety and Operational Improvements/Upgrades:
Many of the projects Enspect, Inc. gets involved with are requested due to operational or safety concerns. Enspect has provided engineering design and drawings to improve a wide range of conditions commonly found in heavy industrial facilities. Some of the many examples of these are as follows:

• Fall protection systems

• Maintenance access platforms

• Equipment stands

• Monorails and hoist beams

• New building additions

• Modifications to existing buildings

• Upgrading of EOT crane runways and cranes

• Runway realignments

In many instances, for these types of projects, Enspect's clients present a problem or concern and look to Enspect to recommend a solution. This typically involves providing preliminary engineering, feasibility studies and conceptual scope development. Enspect is very familiar with this stage of project development and can provide suitable general arrangement drawings and construction cost estimates to enable their clients to confidently proceed to the final engineering design stage.

In the final engineering stage, Enspect, Inc. will typically provide the structural engineering calculations, design drawings, shop fabrication detail drawings for the structural steel and the specifications necessary to obtain contractor bids. Enspect, Inc. can also assist during construction by providing field engineers to monitor and provide technical assistance to contractors performing the work or complete construction management services.
