Kinder Morgan
Millwright Case Studies
Kinder Morgan’s Dakota Bulk Terminal warehouse in St. Paul required a required a fall protection system to allow workers to safely access the top of storage silos along the Mississippi River. Yale Mechanical installed the fall protection system engineered to meet or exceed OSHA and ANSI Z359 standards. The structure includes a rail and trolley system to allow multiple workers to safely navigate work areas on top of silos.
OSHA requires that fall protection be provided at elevations of four feet in general industry workplaces, five feet in shipyards, six feet in the construction industry and eight feet in longshoring operations.
The fall protection system installed by Yale features a rail and trolley system that allows workers to maintain an overhead tie off while they safely and efficiently access multiple elevated work areas.
Safety harnesses worn by workers are connected to secure anchor points on the overhead beams.
