Edge Protection Barrier Applications
Our edge protection barriers are usually applied to equipment maintenance platforms, mezzanine edges, elevated walkways, vertical warehouse platforms, loading and unloading platforms, and maintenance passages, etc. It can withstand a 6-ton forklift impact at a speed of 6.5 km/h.
The roof installation, inspection, and maintenance usually requires operating close to the building edge. Our edge protection barrier can form a continuous edge protection system around the roof and select the appropriate installation method based on flat roofs, pitched roofs and different roof structures.
It can be quickly deployed at floor edges, balconies, elevator shafts, stairwell entrances, and other edge areas to provide continuous collective fall protection for construction workers. Commonly found in residences, commercial complexes, bridges, and public buildings.
Flexible Installation Options for Edge Protection Barrier
During the main construction phase, the connecting sleeves are pre-embedded in the concrete structure. The protective system can be completed simply by installing the posts. With maximum overturn resistance, they are suitable for new buildings, industrial platforms, and those that require long-term fixed use.
The edge protection barrier is fixed to the concrete foundation or steel structure platform by a flange base plate with expansion bolts or embedded bolts. It does not rely on space reserved during the initial construction process, more suitable for retrofitting edge protection, modifying equipment platforms, and upgrading existing buildings after construction is complete.
Secured to the edge of the concrete floor slab using specialized floor clamps, this system requires no drilling, welding, or damage to the main structure, and can be quickly removed and reused once construction is complete. This is widely used in residential and commercial buildings, bridge construction, and other temporary edge protection barrier projects.
It is designed specifically for steel structure applications. Secured to H-beams, I-beams, and other steel structural members using specialized clamps, allowing quick installation of edge protection barriers without welding or drilling, preventing damage to the anti-corrosion coating on the steel structure’s surface.
Our edge protection barrier can be designed and configured according to the requirements of different countries and projects. Common reference standards include:
- BS EN 13374 — Temporary Edge Protection System (Europe)
- OSHA 1926.502 — High-altitude Fall Protection Requirements (USA)
- CSA Relevant High-altitude Work and Fall Protection Standards (Canada)
- AS/NZS 4994.1 — Temporary Edge Protection System (Australia, New Zealand)
If your project has specified standards or tender technical requirements, we can also provide corresponding edge protection barrier product configuration suggestions based on relevant norms.
The height should be determined based on the construction location, fall risk and local safety regulations.
For most construction projects, a height of 1100–1300 mm is adopted, which can meet the requirements for edge protection of floor edges, roofs and construction platforms.
If it is applied in bridge construction, high-rise buildings or special high-risk areas, we recommend a higher specification of the edge protection system.
If you provide project drawings or construction requirements, we can assist in selecting a more suitable barrier height and matching post specifications.
We can provide different specifications of floor clamps for different thicknesses of concrete floor slabs. The common applicable range is 150–500 mm. We can also provide customization according to special structures.
The clamps are fixed by mechanical clamping and do not require the destruction of the main structure. After installation, they can be quickly disassembled and reused, making them highly suitable for main construction, bridge projects, and projects with frequent turnover.
Different surface treatments are suitable for different usage environments.
If the edge protection barrier needs to be used outdoors for a long time or undergo frequent turnover, it is generally recommended to use hot-dip galvanizing treatment. The zinc layer thickness can generally reach over 70 μm, which has excellent corrosion resistance. So the hot-dip galvanizing edge protection barriers are more suitable for bridge construction, roofing projects, and long-term exposed environments.
If the project also focuses on the appearance effect, it is more often to choose the duplex coating process after hot-dip galvanizing. This can further enhance the systems’ corrosion resistance while providing a more attractive appearance and a wide range of color options.
The edge protection barrier adopts a fully modular assembly design, allowing for quick installation. Under standard conditions, a single guardrail unit can usually be quickly assembled by two installers within 10 min. The specific installation period will vary depending on the project length, fixation method, on-site environment, and construction conditions.
- Before installing the edge protection barrier, it is necessary to first confirm the bearing capacity of the floor, steel structure, roof or platform, and select the appropriate fixation method based on the on-site structure.
- In the roof application, most projects will select guardrails with an effective guard height of at least 1,100 millimeters (specific values should comply with local regulations and project requirements).
- If there is a risk of tools, materials or components falling in the construction area, it is recommended to also configure toeboards. The height is usually no less than 150 mm, which can effectively prevent small tools, construction materials and construction debris from sliding from a high place.
You can give us construction drawings, structural dimensions or on-site photos. Our engineering team can assist in confirming the installation method, height, post spacing and configuration of supporting accessories.
It is recommended to conduct inspections after installation, as well as before strong winds, heavy rain, external impacts, or reinstallation.
The key points to check include whether the posts and fixtures are loose, whether the connecting bolts are tightened, whether the guardrail frame is deformed, whether the welds are cracked, whether the toeboards and connecting parts are complete.
For temporary construction projects, please conduct a comprehensive inspection for the entire system before each re-assembly to ensure the structures are stable before it is put into use.
No. Our counterweight barrier system is designed based on the height, span, local wind load and installation environment of the barrier. Through overall stability calculations, it ensures that the system meets the normal usage requirements.
If the project is located in an area with coastal conditions, high-rise buildings, or where strong winds have a long-term impact, we will increase the counterweight specifications according to the wind load conditions.
