Rooftop Walkway, Plank & Ramp Systems
Rooftop walkway plank, ramp and access systems that provide safe, code-aware routes for maintenance and egress across roofs and equipment areas.
Every roof needs safe, defined routes for the crews who maintain it. Architectural Systems fabricates and installs rooftop walkway plank, ramp and access systems that give maintenance and service personnel reliable paths across roofs and around equipment — while protecting the roof assembly underneath.
We engineer ramps, platforms and walkways for their loads and detail them with slip resistance and code-aware access in mind. Just as important, we detail the support systems to distribute weight and work with the roofing membrane, so the very systems meant to protect the roof don’t end up damaging it.
From straightforward plank runs to elevated platforms and equipment-access catwalks, we build rooftop access that keeps people safe and the building serviceable.
Why this scope works better with us
Safe, Defined Routes
Walkway plank and ramp systems give maintenance crews safe, repeatable paths across roofs and around equipment — protecting both people and the roof.
Engineered Access
Ramps, platforms and transitions are engineered for loads and detailed for slip resistance and code-aware access.
Membrane-Friendly Support
Support systems are detailed to distribute load and work with the roof assembly, avoiding point damage to the membrane.
Our fabrication process
Design-Assist & Budget
We join at concept or DD to budget, problem-solve constructability, and value-engineer without sacrificing the designer’s intent.
Shop Drawings & Engineering
Detailed shop drawings, connection design and BIM coordination, submitted for architect and GC approval.
Fabrication
In-house cutting, forming, welding, laser-cut work and finishing — to architectural tolerances.
Finishing
Powder coat, anodize, paint, patina, blackened steel and specialty finishes coordinated to the spec.
Delivery & Field Installation
Sequenced delivery and professional installation, coordinated to the project schedule.
