SAFETYWORKS & Solutions Flexideck 2 Walkway System offer many advantages
SAFETYWORKS & Solutions supplied a comprehensive roof safety system to the Cambridgeshire location of ABB Limited, who is a leader in power and automation technologies that enable utility and industry customers to improve performance while lowering environmental impacts.
Recognising there is a need for people to access the vents and rainwater valleys on the roof, SAFETYWORKS & Solutions installed 370m of their Flexideck 2 walkway system, which not only helps to protect those going on to the roof, but also protects any fragile areas of the roof from foot traffic. SAFETYWORKS unique Flexideck 2 is a polyethylene with an enhanced GRP Plank walkway system, which offers increased anti-slip properties. Another design enhancement of Flexideck 2 is the use of high quality stainless steel fasteners, which naturally deliver an enhanced durability. The polyethylene bearers are produced from recycled plastic, and the entire system is lightweight, easily cleaned, and rot free, and can be manufactured to suit any profile. It is also non-penetrative, which means the roof’s integrity is not compromised during the installation process, and has an amazing life expectancy of over 40 years!
SAFETYWORKS also installed 47 FallGuard panels. FallGuard ensures that if a user falls sideways from the walkways, they will not pass through fragile roof sheets or roof lights.

To complete the system, 370m of Uniline 8mm Stainless Steel System was
installed to one side of the walkway allowing "hands free" protection throughout the length of the system. Uniline is CE marked and fully compliant with BS EN 795.
Commenting on the project, Marco Norman, Managing Director of SAFETYWORKS & Solutions said, “Our roof safety systems have been innovatively designed and manufactured to offer enhancements in terms of on-site performance and unsurpassed durability. Our clients know that with SAFETYWORKS, they are assured of market leading products, technical expertise, and an outstanding level of customer support”.
