TYPICAL CATWALK STAIR SECTION
UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HOLLYWOOD
THEME PARK ATTRACTION CATWALKS
DURING MY INTERNSHIP AT UNIVERSAL STUDIOS, I TOOK ON THE TASK OF CREATING A STANDARD DETAIL DRAWING PACKAGE FOR THE MAINTENANCE
CATWALKS ASSOCIATED TO THE THEME PARK RIDES THAT COMPLY WITH OSHA STANDARDS. THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST DETAIL STANDARD TO BE
PRODUCED BY THE “IN-HOUSE” UNIVERSAL CREATIVE TEAM, TO PROVIDE TO THIRD PARTY VENDORS AND CONTRACTORS IN ORDER TO SAVE TIME AND MONEY WHEN WORKING ON NEW PROJECTS OR UPDATING EXISTING PROJECTS, TO PRODUCE A CONSISTENT AND SAFE STANDARD FOR MAINTENANCE
UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HOLLYWOOD
A-TYPICAL CATWALK
IN ADDITION TO TYPICAL CATWALK STANDARDS, I ALSO COLLABORATED WITH THE MAINTENANCE TEAMS FOR EACH RIDE TO SEE WHAT CAN BE IMPROVED WITHIN THE CATWALKS TO ALLOW PROPER MAINTENANCE, AND SAFETY. ONE OF THESE IDEAS
WAS TO HAVE SLIDING DOORS WITHIN THE RAILS OF CATWALKS THAT HAVE PROJECTORS TO PROVIDE AMPLE ACCESS TO MACHINERY, THAT CAN CLOSE FOR FALL PROTECTION.
