In July of 2015, we completed our works on the Ballymena Health Centre in County Antrim. The Project scope was to "Provide a Designated Safe Access Route to a Series of Standing Seam Monopitch Roofs".
The full system included 380 metres of KeeWalk rooftop walkway, including traverse walkways and stepped sections for ascending each roof. Initial access to the roof area was made possible by way of a PivotLoc ladder, which allows the user to connect via their PPE.
Eoin Ryan, Design Engineer:
"The challenge was to provide systems that were discreet and effective, with minimal roof and flashing penetrations, and that's just what we delivered, with concealed walkways and platforms that are not visually imposing from the roadside. We provided a designated safe access route to a series of standing seam mono-pitched roofs, and the equipment we installed now enables initial access to the roof area through the use of a PivotLoc ladder".
"When the roof is ascended, the operative is in a safe location away from the roof edge when they disconnect. The Kee Walk walkway then enables safe traverse to the necessary roof locations. The ships ladder (complete with handrail and ladder platform) allows access across each individual roof pitch, where it is met by the stepped walkway to lead down the roofs pitch to the traverse walkway."
