30" wide catwalk

List:

 

Can anyone confirm that the minimum width of catwalk used in heavy industrial (i.e. for Bulk/Material handling conveyor system) has been changed from 24” to 30” wide? One of our independent checkers made comments regarding this change.

 

I checked with IBC 2000, 2003 and 2006 nothing mentioned about the change.

 

Thanks,

 

Julius
