Safesite has provided Wolverhampton Wanderers FC with a bespoke rooftop safety solution to allow the Club to video training sessions safely at height.

Wolverhampton Wanderers’ training premises at the Sir Jack Hayward Training Ground, has recently undergone significant redevelopment to enhance the players’ facilities and to create a ‘Category 1’ Academy.  In order to learn as much as possible from training sessions, the Club wanted to be able to video the sessions from multiple angles, including from a flat roof area that is accessed via an office.

bespoke step-over and walkwayFollowing a site survey, Safesite proposed a comprehensive solution which included the installation of a  bespoke step-over to allow safe passage from the facility’s office balcony onto a Kee Walk walkway which offers a demarcated route to the flat roof area where the filming takes place.  KeeGuard  guardrail systems have been installed to provide edge protection to the exposed edges of the roof.

 

Bespoke access platform for filmingThe installation has been completed with the construction of a fully guarded bespoke access platform to provide clear visibility of the pitches so that filming can be carried out in complete safety, giving the Club an invaluable overall perspective of the training sessions.

Today’s congested roofs and changes in level mean that safe access to and around the roof can often be problematic.

Safesite is able to offer a more versatile solution to traditional, off the shelf safe access products such as ladders and portable access platforms with Bespoke Access Platforms and Step-Overs.   Constructed from tube and fittings to provide a robust and durable solution the platforms and step-overs can be tailored to meet virtually any configuration, height and width.

Bespoke access platforms and step-overs are modular in design and can be designed to provide safe access over pipework, plant equipment and conduits and can easily accommodate changes in level or direction.   The modular design has the added benefit of ease and speed of installation.  The structures are simply installed with a hex tool and tube cutters overcoming the need for specialist workers or equipment.  As no cutting, welding, threading or bolting is required installation time is quick and the integrity of the coating is not compromised. Any changes in design can also be made easily on site if required.

 

Units are available in galvanised steel or aluminium and are designed to comply with current regulations and standards such as the Work at Height Regulations, BS5395: Part 3 and EN: 14122.
