Temporary edge protection on concrete floor slabs at construction site in UK

Precast concrete floor slabs

Temporary edge protection on concrete floor slabs at construction site in UK

Pre-casting concrete elements allows for inclusion of cast-in components to support the temporary edge protection system needed to erect the structure. If edge protection is needed on top of the slab, anchor sockets can be cast to support a Post foot (product code 912105). For side of slab positioning cast-in anchors will support Vertical brackets (product code 912118).

Omnia slabs can be delivered with Precast socket (product code 911108) projecting from the top of the bottom concrete layer.

Socket with Rebar 400 mm is an expendable socket that is embedded into slabs or beams with a minimum depth of 500 mm.

If anchoring is to be avoided, Adjustable clamps 300 or 550 can be installed on site before the units are lifted into position.

In the brackets our Post 1,3 m is installed and thereafter Barrier 2,6. The Barrier can be raised in one simple operation on the post up to a height of 310 mm above the floor structure, without decreased safety. This creates conditions for joint grouting, casting and other common work tasks without any need of uninstalling the edge protection.

SafetyRespect offer technical support and will provide a schedule of the equipment required to protect your door openings.

As an attachment point for the bracket the regular cast in sockets in stairs can be used. A Stair bracket with spacers makes it possible to let the protection in the stairs during the whole construction period. All kinds of work can be carried out with the protection in place, even the final painting.

Catch fans on slab edges

VT Catch fan

Catch fan for slabs is a complement to our temporary edge protection system. The fan is a collective safety measure that catch and contain falling objects where access is required in the immediate vicinity of a high rise structure. The fan can be installed without any need of cranes and this version is designed to be installed on concrete floor slabs edges.

Catch fans are designed to fit directly vertically or horizontally onto building frames or scaffolding structures using a range of accessories. They are for and six meters wide with a three meter overhang, and fixed directly to the top of the slab using reusable anchor bolts. The fans are compact, lightweight and transportable between work areas without the use of a crane.

Catch fans are installed up to six meters below the working area and they will catch and absorb the energy of falling object or debris, ensuring that they don’t bounce out of the net. They can also protect the public in, for example, city environments. A fine mesh layer is fixed to the net to catch smaller objects. Fallen objects are retrieved by simply folding the net to gain access. They can easily be moved and adapted throughout the construction project. Easy to fold to a vertical position in order not to interfere with cranes.

Temporary edge protection for concrete constructions

Attachment on top of concrete slabs

Temporary edge protection for concrete slabs

Installing temporary edge protection on top of the concrete slab keeps the edge clear for fixing facade brackets when unitised curtain-walling is to be installed or when masonry forms the external facade. We offer the following two main options for installing on top of slab.

The Socket base (product code 912110) uses a double-threaded M16 (product code 919111) that connects into the slab using an M16 drop-in or impact anchor (product code 919110)

Alternatively the Post foot (product code 912105) connects to slab using reusable screw anchors. This carries an economical benefit if the edge protection system is to be moved for around the project.

Both components hold Standard system Post, 1300 mm in height with double wedge lock connectors that retain Barriers in position without allowing them to slide. The Posts are held captive in Socket base and Post foot using a twist-lock design, which prevents accidental lifting or removal.

Freestanding base

Freestanding base is useful when a barrier system is needed to build phase-breaks to protect concrete slab pours, exclusion zones and safe walkway routes. The base is lightweight so therefore portable and easy to install by simply screwing a Socket base into one of its three connection points, then inserting Post 1,3 m and Barrier 2,6.

Freestanding base is used for creating temporary blockings and safe access routes in work environments at construction sites. This solution can be quickly installed and is easy to move and adjust when required.

• Three mounting points M16.
• Zinced and powder coated.
• Weight 8 kg.

Adjustable link bars

Adjustable link bars

Adjustable link bars

Adjustable link bars are used as collective fall protection for concrete stairs, shafts, openings etc on construction sites. They are a multi-function telescopic component that connects to SR System Posts or Wall brackets, to form horizontal guardrails for flat slabs, door and window openings, or as temporary handrails fixed to concrete stairs.

The connection brackets are built with a swivel function to allow for slab deviations and to allow them to align when used diagonally. A tightening screw locks the rails when adjusted to length.

On door and window openings Wall brackets are installed on each side of the opening as a bracket for attaching the Adjustable link bars. The Adjustable link bars are available in four different sizes from 0,6 metres up to 3,5 metres. This solution makes it easy to remove and put back the edge protection when various types of work is to be carried out, and it also leaves space for different types of lead-throughs.

• Easily adjustable.
• Swivel brackets.
• Hot dip galvanized.
• Delivered in stacking stillage.
