At Infrastructure Access Solutions, we combine global engineering expertise with local project knowledge. Our integrated design services bring access, lifting and handling equipment into your project from the first concept.
At its core, integrated design services bring you and all stakeholders together to share insights and feedback, build consensus around the solution, and support successful implementation.
We are supported by Alimak Group and decades of infrastructure engineering experience. We help asset owners, EPC contractors and engineering firms plan access that is safe to build and safe to maintain.
One engineering and project management team follows your project from first concept to commissioning. We design access, lifting and handling equipment around the structure. This avoids fitting equipment in after the civil design is already fixed.
For retrofit and refurbishment projects, our dedicated project management and engineering team ensures that new installations comply with all applicable local and national codes and regulations while staying within budget
Every project starts with the structure and the work it needs. Our engineers review drawings, maintenance tasks and site constraints. We also confirm the regulatory framework for the project location. This gives the design team a clear brief before any concept is drawn.
We develop early layouts and options with the civil and structural designers. Coordinating access at this stage reduces clashes and late changes. It also gives you an early view of cost and program.
Our design engineers produce CAD drawings, calculations and specifications for the custom system. Structural interfaces and controls are coordinated with the actual operating method. Design revisions are tracked and controlled through to final approval.
We plan and perform factory acceptance testing which includes load testing and functional checks before the equipment is shipped to site. Our team then supports installation and commissioning as well as perform site acceptance testing to ensure that all equipment functions as intended.
Our work continues after handover. We support inspection planning, maintenance access and operator training for the life of the asset.
Safety is the starting point for every system we design. Each project begins with a risk assessment of the structure and the people who will work on it. Our engineers then design hazards out before the drawings are finalized.
We map work-at-height zones, confined spaces and rescue routes early. A hazard solved on paper costs far less than a hazard found on site.
Load and functional testing and inspection planning are part of every project. Equipment goes into service only after it passes the agreed checks.
We plan for operator training and clear operating procedures. Maintenance access is designed so the system stays safe to inspect and repair.
Safety requirements depend on the asset type and the project jurisdiction. We conform to the governing codes for each project and design to them.
Our team designs equipment for some of the most demanding infrastructure projects in the world. Group experience includes more than 50 bridge projects in 20 countries. Each market brings its own access challenges.
Custom access, lifting and handling equipment for tunnel construction and maintenance. Our systems are designed for restricted headroom and changing work fronts.
Under-deck gantries and inspection platforms designed around each bridge structure. Our equipment gives inspection teams safe reach to every critical element.
Access and handling solutions for nuclear, hydroelectric and other generation sites. Projects range from reactor building equipment to dam penstock access platforms.
From tunnel construction to bridge inspection, our equipment is in service on major infrastructure projects worldwide.

Our experience includes projects such as Fehmarnbelt, International Gordie Howe bridge and ITER. Each one needed equipment designed around a unique structure and work method.
What sets us apart is one connected team. Our engineers and project managers support each client from needs assessment through installation and beyond. Global standards meet local application on every project.

We deliver safe and compliant access solutions for infrastructure projects.
Our integrated design services cover custom access, lifting and handling equipment for infrastructure. The service runs from the first needs assessment through detailed engineering and testing. It continues with inspection and maintenance support after handover.
It works best at concept stage, before the civil and structural design is fixed. Early involvement lets us coordinate access with the structure and the construction method. It also gives the project team early cost and program input.
Every project starts with a risk assessment of the structure and its work tasks. We design fall protection, safe routes and rescue access into the system from the start. Load and functional testing and inspection planning then confirm the equipment is safe before it goes into service.
Early engagement helps define project goals, compliance requirements and technical challenges. Problems solved on paper cost less than problems solved on site. Asset owners and contractors see fewer late changes and a more predictable program.
Tunnels, bridges and power generation sites benefit the most. These assets often need access where standard equipment cannot reach. Integrated design also suits other complex structures with restricted access or unusual geometry.
Yes. For existing assets, we start with a survey of the structure and its current access. We then design equipment that fits the existing geometry and limits disruption to operations.
Requirements depend on the asset type and the project jurisdiction. In the US, tunnel construction falls under OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart S. Highway bridge inspection follows the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS). Nuclear projects often require suppliers certified to ISO 19443. We confirm the governing codes for each project before design is finalized.
