The person who climbs down will never know who installed the ladder. You do.

A tender comes in, with its submission date. We make the composite caged ladders, hatches and fall protection bars you are going to install. In workwith., our pro portal, you price them yourself, the data sheet is in your Documents, and the quote follows within 48 working hours, with its lead time.

01 — Your situation

Bids have a submission date, and the job site has a date too.

You are responding to a tender, or to a request from an operator. The file calls for hatches, a caged ladder, fall protection bars or a guard-rail. And when it calls for stainless steel, you would sometimes like to offer composite as a variant.

The submission date is set. Until then, you take the measurements, you price the job, and you need the lead time and the data sheet. If you win the job, another date comes along: the day on site. Your team is booked for that day. The equipment has to be there, and it has to go together.

Then your team leaves. And someone climbs down.

They lift the cover, raise the bars, take the ladder. At that moment, the submission date is long past. What counts is what you installed.

02 — Your structures

What you install won’t rust.

In a reservoir or a pumping station, the damp never goes away. On metal, corrosion always comes back, and a heavy metal hatch needs lifting equipment. Composite doesn’t rust.

Drinking water

Reservoirs, water towers, treatment plants

What we see
The tender documents (DCE) sometimes call for stainless steel in the reservoir. And for an organic material in contact with drinking water, the ACS is mandatory.
What we make
Our drinking water ladders don’t rust, and their material is ACS-certified: the certificate ships with every ladder. For hatches, we offer a double nested cover with 2-point locking.

Wastewater

Pumping stations, wastewater treatment plants

What we see
H₂S attacks metal. And under the hatch, your customer wants fall protection bars.
What we make
The ladder stays sound, with no repainting. The hatch weighs 11 to 26 kg depending on size, and it opens with one hand. Below it, the fall protection bars fit inside its frame.
Access hatchesComposite ladders
Guard-rails

Basins, areas around live equipment

What we see
The specification (CCTP) may call for a non-conductive guard-rail.
What we make
Our composite guard-rail is insulating: it can be installed near live electrical equipment, with no equipotential bonding on the profiles. And around the basins, it stays sound, with no repainting.

Composite fall protection bars tested at 1,200 J
Fall protection bars

Price the bars with the hatch.

The fall protection bars are optional: they do not come with the hatch as standard. They are ordered with it, in the same estimate, and fit inside its frame. For our T1-Std hatches, they come in four sizes, from 600 × 600 to 1,500 × 800 mm. For a chamber or shaft in civil works, we make a module that you cut to fit on site. And at 1,200 J, the bag does not pass through.

03 — Your project

You price it tonight. The quote follows within 48 working hours.

Our customers were waiting for their prices, and a bid can’t wait. So we built workwith., our pro portal. And when one tender follows another, the home screen shows where each project stands and what it needs from you.

    Price at your rates

    Your price, discount included, appears as soon as you sign in. In the configurator, your ladders are set to the height you measured, up to 8,000 mm; above that, we custom-design them. For a hatch, you choose the size and, on the T1-Std 600, 800 and 1000, the position of the hold-open stay. Fall protection bars and guard-rails are added to the same estimate. Your account manager checks it, adapts it to the structure and sends you the quote, with the lead time.

    Your customer says yes: you approve the quote, in Messages or by email, and we are the ones who turn it into an order. Standard or configured equipment goes into production with no drawings to approve. For a structure that needs a design study, our design office uploads the installation drawings to your portal, with their revision. You approve them, or you leave a comment: production waits for your go-ahead.

04 — Who we are

To make the case for a composite variant, you need documents.

We are idréva, a Normandy-based manufacturer of composite access equipment since 2015. Our team has been working with composite for more than twenty years, and in our factory in Rives-en-Seine since January 2025. Your customer or their project engineer will ask you why composite: you will have an answer ready.

Diagram of the test: a 50 kg bag, dropped three times from a height of 2.40 m onto a fall protection grid resting on its frame. The bag does not pass through.

This is the impact test from the INRS ED 6076 method, the INRS document on pumping stations. On our fall protection grids and bars, the bag does not pass through. A third-party inspection body has validated it.

The test report is in the Documents section of your portal, for your technical bid.

Drinking waterACS

The material in contact with the water is certified.

On our drinking water ladders, the material has passed the ACS migration tests, in an approved independent laboratory. The certificate ships with every ladder, and you will find it in your Documents.

Workshop exitSignal™ “Approved” label, with the number, date and signature

Only green leaves the workshop.

Every piece of equipment is inspected in our Rives-en-Seine workshop. Equipment that ships carries the green “Approved” Signal™; on the label, its number, the inspection date and the inspector’s signature. The rest stays with us. This inspection is photographed: you can see it in “Track production”.

Standards
  • Our ladders comply with EN ISO 14122-4 and NF E85-016
  • Our guard-rail is designed to NF E85-015 and EN ISO 14122
05 — Why we do all this

They want to go down, come back up, and get home at the end of the day.

For that, they need a ladder that doesn’t rust and a proper installation. The ladder is our job. The installation is yours.
