Kee Walk® Aluminium Roof Walkway System

Rooftop Walkway Provides Safe Access on Automobile Manufacturer Facility Roof


Background

As a trusted safety partner, we recently collaborated with a leading automobile manufacturer to tackle a significant challenge: ensuring the safety of workers accessing their facility's roof. The company required a walkway system that not only met international safety standards but also protected the roof surface from potential damage.

The roof is undulating, so needed a solution which was flexible enough to cope with an array of different slope angles whilst complying with the latest EN standards.

Challenge

Their general contractor was struggling to find a roof walkway solution that complied with EN and OSHA standards. This posed a serious risk to worker safety and could have led to regulatory issues. The requirements were clear:

Solution

Kee Walk® was ideal; a modular system, no custom-made parts, and each section delivered to the site fully assembled to provide a level, walking surface that is lightweight and does not penetrate or damage the roof.

Implementation

We worked closely with the general contractor to install the Kee Walk® system at the facility. The modular design made installation and customization straightforward, allowing us to address the specific layout of the roof.                                                                                                       

Key features of the implementation included:

  • Installing walkways on various roof types, including flat, barrel, and sloping surfaces.
  • Adding steps and traverse options to create access paths across different roof configurations.
  • Defining clear access paths to minimize foot traffic on the roof sheet.
  • Seamlessly integrating the walkway with existing safety systems.

Results

The installation of the Kee Walk® aluminium walkway system at the client facility yielded several positive outcomes:

  • Enhanced Safety: Workers now have a secure, anti-slip surface, reducing accident risks.
  • Regulatory Compliance: The system meets all EN and OSHA standards, ensuring the manufacturer adheres to international safety regulations.
  • Roof Protection: The designated walkways prevent unnecessary damage to the roof.
  • Versatility: Its adaptable design accommodates various roof angles and configurations.
  • Long-term Durability: The corrosion-resistant aluminium construction ensures decades of reliable performance.
  • Client Satisfaction: The manufacturer was highly satisfied, specifying Kee Walk® for their future facility expansions.
