A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
A suspended platform system has tensioned flexible members, such as wire cables 102, spanning a gap. Modular platforms 112 are suspended on at least two adjacent tensioned wires, and suspension members 114 are attached to an overhead support. Each of the suspension members depends downwardly from the overhead support, such as an underside of a bridge or an oil rig, and there are coupling assemblies (120, fig 2) associated with lower ends of the suspension members. Each one of the coupling assemblies couples one of the suspension members to a selected one of the tensioned wires. Furthermore, the suspended platform has a safety rail 420 mounted to at least one of the modular platforms. The safety rail may be clamped to a suspension members.
