Permanent edge solution
March 1st 2006

The safety of rooftop workers is assured at a hospital in Buckinghamshire following the installation of a roof edge protection system from Kee Klamp.

Maintenance crews and external contractors require access to monitor operation or fix faults on air conditioning chillers, extract ventilation systems, satellite equipment and elevator motor rooms, all of which are on the roof.

The KeeGuard system provides a permanent solution that offers workers speed of access and convenience. The installation extends for more than 230m across the roof of the two-storey building and features Kee Klamp's saddle fitting for quicker assembly.

This fitting allows the horizontal guardrail to be placed in the saddle of the open fitting, rather than through it before being secured with a grub screw in the normal fashion.

The system comprises just three principal pre-fabricated components: a main upright, a main counterbalance and a free end assembly, where no wall fixing is available.
