What a catwalk is
A catwalk is a special walkway set aside for movement and access across the various sections of industrial facilities, construction sites, factories and similar structures. It is designed so workers and engineers can reach every part of a building with ease, and can be mounted temporarily or permanently. Depending on the type of work to be done and on local conditions, catwalks can be built with different equipment.
Where it matters
Catwalks are particularly important in exterior-facade and suspended-bridge construction. Construction workers and engineers use these walkways — which let them work close to the structure — to operate safely. Playing a vital role in construction projects and building works, catwalks also carry great importance for occupational safety: they are designed to keep workers safe and to ease the work process, and they are maintained on a regular basis.
