When it comes to commercial construction projects, safety is non-negotiable. A recent project in Cromwell demonstrated just how effective and efficient the SafeEdge Edge Protection System can be. Partnered with Climax Scaffolding, the installation proved to be a standout example of innovative design meeting practical application. The Cromwell project was executed flawlessly by Climax Scaffolding, a team known for its expertise in scaffolding and safety systems. SafeEdge proved to be a game-changer for this commercial build. Its lightweight aluminum design made transport and installation quick and efficient, while its pre-set couplers ensured the edge protection guardrails were spaced compliantly and evenly.
This project highlights the suitability of SafeEdge for large-scale developments, showcasing how it seamlessly integrates into steel structures. The SafeEdge posts were fixed to the steel purlins on this commercial building, however SafeEdge can be connected to many different substrates or surfaces including Steel, Timber and Concrete using a range of different fixing types. These include bolt & nut, screws and anchors.
Each SafeEdge post has preset graspers; the bottom rail spaced at 350mm from the mid-rail and then the top-rail 450mm above the mid-rail. This means the guardrails comply with the AS/NZS 4994.1: 2009 standard and there is no need to measure the distance between the guardrails. Standard scaffold tube can then be attached to the graspers and screwed tight by hand without any additiional tools or equipments .
Why SafeEdge Stood Out
The SafeEdge system offers a range of features that make it the top choice for commercial projects:
- Lightweight and Durable Design
Made from lightweight high tensile T6 aluminum, the SafeEdge Edge Protection post is the lightest on the market. This makes it incredibly easy to handle and install without compromising on strength or durability.
- Pre-set Graspers for Precision and Tidy Appearance
The pre-set graspers not only make spacing uniform and compliant but also contribute to a sleek and professional finish. This eliminates the hassle of manual adjustments while ensuring the structure is visually appealing and secure.
- No Couplers for Guardrails
The system uses standard scaffold tubes for the guardrails, which are secured without additional couplers. This streamlined design reduces installation time and complexity.
- Easy Installation on Steel Purlins
Specifically designed for commercial building projects, the system easily bolts into steel purlins, and onto other surfaces with 2 different connection point angles making it an ideal choice for commercial building projects like the one in Cromwell.
- Compliance with Industry Standards
Safety is always a priority, and the SafeEdge system complies fully with AS/NZS 4994.1:2009, giving contractors and clients peace of mind.
The SafeEdge Edge Protection innovative design not only ensures compliance and safety but also delivers significant time and cost savings during installation. With its fast installation, reduced need for specialized parts, and robust performance, it has set a new standard for edge protection in the commercial construction industry.
Whether you’re managing a massive commercial build or smaller-scale residential projects, SafeEdge offers the perfect blend of functionality, safety, and efficiency.
The Cromwell commercial building project is a testament to how the right tools and the right team can make any construction project safer and more efficient. With SafeEdge leading the way in edge protection, the future of commercial construction is not just safer but smarter.
