It’s just an example and a discussion, meant merely to inform individuals and fellow professionals in this industry, and not directed at any specific design or construction company. Figure 1 shows the manhole of a certain device; platform design was not taken into account during the design phase, and it was discovered during on-site construction that the manhole was essentially useless. (The equipment is made of 304 material, and no stainless steel gaskets were used when welding the platform to the equipment.) In Figure 2, the manhole of another piece of equipment does not take into account the position of the internal hangers relative to the manhole, which prevents people from entering it. In Figure 3, it’s unclear what the purpose of bending the pipes in that way is Figure 4 shows the patterned steel plate used for the platform steps; the design requirement was bending, and that’s what was done on site. Figure 5 shows that the bolt holes of the custom-made flanges on the equipment do not align properly. Figure 6: What is the function of this expansion joint at the right end? Let the master clarify it for us
