Secure roof edge protection
August 1st 2004

Providing safe and secure roof edge protection, Shorguard SG4 freestanding, permanent guardrails have been installed by J P Whelan Plant in association with EC-EX Engineering at the Hampshire Scientific Offices in Portsmouth.

The provision of safe access for maintenance and service engineers necessitated the specification of a galvanised guardrail system that was strong and easy to install without damaging the existing felted flat roof.

The shorguard patented lifting shoe enabled secure fixing and will allow the roof surface to be redressed, when required, with minimum disruption.

A component system, Shorguard can be easily assembled in areas where access is limited. The system readily accommodates and protects existing air conditioning or process extraction ducts and pipeworks.
