Construction
As a leading supplier of roof trusses and structural timber frames to the construction industry, we have developed an "Edge Protection Safety System" which offers many advantages during the build stage:
- Increased speed of build
- Reduced building costs
- Improved health and safety
- Continuity of Work
...all of which assists greatly in the milestones of the critical build path.
The first milestone to be encountered is the erection of the timber frame kit, which is started as soon as the concrete ground floor slab is available reducing the build time by at least a week. The second milestone involves internal follow-on trades, (plumber, electrician & joiner) who can gain earlier access to commence their works, further reducing the programme by another two weeks!
This system of erection allows for greater continuity in progressing along the "critical build path" and helps to achieve significant milestones earlier. This results in projects being completed on time, within budget, on shorter timescales and all without compromising health and safety or build quality!
The Edge Protection System disclosed and described herein is the subject of International Patent Application No. PCT/GB2007/004656 (published as WO 2008/068483).
