concrete cast protection for edge protection bracket at construction site UK

Concrete slab pre-screed

When a concrete floor has to be level with very low tolerances a concrete screed or levelling compound is applied over the concrete. A temporary edge protection system fixed directly to the concrete will obstruct the levelling work so we have developed casting protectors for our post support components to allow this.

Cast protection for socket base (product code 911109) is an expendable circular former that protects the Socket base (product code 912110) from concrete when screed is applied.  It also allows clean removal leaving a shallow hole for grout filling.

Cast protection for post foot (product code 911140) is a reusable plastic former which is anchored to concrete and protects the post foot during the application of floor levelling compound or liquid screed. Upon completion, the edge protection is removed leaving a clean hole to 50 mm in depth for grout filling.

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 in wall or beam elements, cast-in anchors can be inserted into the formwork. If the attachment point is on the side of the sections, our Vertical bracket (product code 912118) can be installed. If it’s on top of the sections our Post foot (product code 912105) can be used instead as a bracket for posts and steel mesh barriers.

Socket with Rebar 400 mm is an expendable socket that is embedded into slabs or beams with a minimum depth of 500 mm. The Post socket sits flush with the top of the concrete and it is supplied with a protective plastic cap to prevent concrete ingress.

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

SafetyRespect offer technical support and will provide detailed information to your specific criteria.

Omnia floor slabs

precast_socket_safetyrespect_5330c

Our Precast socket is designed to be casted into precast concrete slabs right at the concrete factory. This provide an easier, faster and safer mounting of temporary edge protection at the construction site.

An Omnia flooring slab is a reinforced precast concrete slab which incorporates a triangular lattice girder that is attached to a lower layer of reinforcement. The lattice girder is manufactured using high strength steel wire which binds with in-situ concrete which is poured onto it.

By casting a Precast socket (product code 911108) into the lower slab means that temporary edge protection can be installed onto the slab before it is lifted into position allowing rebar installation and concrete placing onto the slabs within a collectively protected work area.

Precast sockets are fixed to rebar before the lower portion concrete is cast. A cut length of Protective sleeve (product code 911107) is inserted onto the Precast socket, which forms a 50 mm diameter hole around the Post and allows extraction when temporary edge protection is no longer required.

The Precast socket has an integrated post lock. Post 1,3 m and Barrier 2,6 are installed either before or after the prefabricated element is lifted in place. The Barriers can easily be lifted to the desired height when casting. No tools are needed.

VT Slabstopfix edge protection

Vertical beams and walls

VT Slabstopfix edge protection

When anchoring to vertical beams and walls we offer VT slabstopfix which has the added benefit of being designed to support formwork for slab edges. The VT Slabstopfix serves both to hold an edge protection post and as a stop-end for the edge formwork. An anchor point for rolling threaded rods or anchors offers numerous application possibilities. When mounted, the distance between the punched angle steel and the slab edge is 50 mm.

Temporary edge protection is used when permanent guardrails are upgraded on road bridges. These are often clamped to the structure, horizontally on upstands and vertically when clamped directly to the deck edge. For this our Clamp 300 and 550 can be used together with our posts and barriers.

Collective edge protection for Exclusion zone at construction site in UK

Exclusion zones with freestanding edge protection

Collective edge protection for Exclusion zone at construction site in UK

It’s important that exclusion zones can be erected quickly using minimum components with relative portability for carrying through stair cores or on hoists. Freestanding base (product 912320) sits on the concrete floor supporting Post 1,3 m, at 2,4 metre maximum spacings. Using SafetyRespect steel mesh barrier’s as the visible and impassable zone boundary. This offers the benefit of less components, lightweight equipment and fast install, removal and re-installation which can materialise large time savings over long periods of re-cycling between floors.

Attachment on the side of concrete slabs

Temporary edge protection for concrete slabs

Fixing temporary fall protection to the edge of the concrete slab offers a clear working area on top of the slab for the installation of Systemised Framed Systems (SFS).

The Vertical bracket (product code 912118) is attached to the edge of the concrete using cast-in anchors or post-Drilled reusable screw anchors. It can be installed along two axes offering a clearance from the slab of 20 mm or 59 mm, before Barriers are installed.

Sacrificial sockets on steel sections

Temporary edge protection on steel structures at construction site

Installing temporary edge protection onto the top surface of the steel section offers protection to anyone working on a steel structure before a unitised facade system is installed onto its perimeter. The temporary edge protection sits within the building line without protrusions to affect the facade installation. Sacrificial sockets are welded to steel structures during fabrication and cast into the floor slabs. The temporary edge protection system is quick and easy to fix to the sections before they are hoisted into the structure.

Fall protection net

Fall protection net is used as edge protection at construction sites to catch both people and materials that may fall. The net is available in a variety of sizes and designs and and the attachment is done with a rope or with a so called Grippa in, for example, a roof girder construction. The fall protection net offers both flexibility and safety, which results in increased efficiency when working at great heights. When positioned correctly the protection net is also used to catch falling objects such as waste material, tools, building parts, equipment, etc. The protection net also reduces the feeling of great height, which means that possible fear of heights of the workers is reduced. This creates a feeling of safety with increased efficiency as a result.
