By installing weighted guardrails we made accessing and maintaining the solar panels on this green roof safe without compromising the waterproofing or penetrating the roofing membrane.

Project Summary

Having installed solar panels onto their green roof, the property owners rightly wanted to ensure that any work done would be safe. By installing edge protection, the solar panels could be accessed for inspection and maintenance work without risk of falling. Their main contractor, a team of roofing specialists, brought us in to provide specialist work at height safety services which would make the roof safer for their team as well as employees of the property’s owners and tenants.

What We Achieved

Having assessed the roofing structures already in place, we determined that a weighted guardrail system would be most appropriate as this provides suitable fall protection without penetrating the roof membrane. Working alongside and around the ICS Roofing team, our team made sure that our work did not interrupt or delay ongoing work by the main contractor. Our multi-skilled team delivered, fully installed and tested the system in just 2 days.

The weighted guardrail system was successfully installed, providing an edge protection solution that is compatible with the property’s existing green roof and, of course, meets all relevant building and safety regulations. We are proud to say that both the property owner and their main contractor were very pleased with the quality, speed and price of the installation work we carried out, and have already recommended us for other projects.
