Award-winning edge protection systems and safety screens for construction projects

Edge protection systems are vital in mid to high-rise construction projects for ensuring the safety of both your workforce and the public. This is particularly true with a concrete frame as the opportunity for debris to fall over the edge is high unless there is an edge protection system in place.

Our safety screens Ascent 200 and Ascent-S provide vital debris protection around the perimeter of sites and have been used in residential projects such as the Ontario Point Tower development in London.

Many modern safety screens can also be used for advertising, with contractors even able to sell this space, with the capital raised going towards the cost of the system.

Key considerations

Crane usage
Not only do safety screens seal in construction debris and prevent falls from height, many modern systems can minimise crane usage too. This can help improve efficiency and productivity, as crane time is freed up for other on-site works. Multi-level safety screens are another way to speed up working cycles, as they don't need to be lifted as often.
Space on-site
Factors such as available on-site space and the capabilities of workers will determine whether edge protection systems arrive preassembled or in kit form, for assembly on-site.
Wind loads
Wind loads are always an important consideration when constructing tall buildings and need to be taken into account when selecting an appropriate edge protection system.
