The subject of this elaboration is a brief discussion of the layout and operation
of furnace waste dumps and the main elements of the technology of storage of such wastes.
Operating conditions and applied construction types of operating platforms were described.
Several versions of the operating platforms were designed and analysed by comparison of
such features as: weight, labour intensity of the realization, ease of inspection, anticorrosion
cleaning and painting, height of the posts over the water level needed to mount the platform,
aesthetics. The Authors chose and recommended the most favorable solution of the operating
platform where the platform is situated in the bottom chord of the truss girders, the
girders have height of 1.1 m and play a role of safety railings.
