protection specialist Kee Safety has introduced Kee® Walk –
a new, permanent roof top walkway solution for use on
composite, trapezoidal metal profiles and standing seam
roofs. As an off-the-shelf, modular system which can be
easily adapted to a wide range of different roof types,
pitches and configurations, Kee® Walk is much easier to
install and more cost-effective than other walkway systems
currently on the market. |
 |
| Kee®
Walk is the only system of its type which complies fully
with the harmonised European Standard EN 516:2006
(Prefabricated Accessories for Roofing – Installations for
roof access – Walkways, treads and steps) which became
mandatory in January 2006. |
|
It exceeds the deflection
criteria and slip resistance requirements of this standard
and achieves almost double the friction requirement of BS
4592 in both wet and dry conditions. Specifying Kee® Walk
will help those companies needing to meet the requirements
of Work at Height Regulations. The system is fully
compatible with all horizontal safety line systems including
Kee Safety’s own KeeLine® system. |
|
Providing a level, anti-slip
walking surface, Kee® Walk modules can be easily connected
together to form a clear demarcation route. This ensures
that the roof is protected from unnecessary damage with the
pedestrian weight uniformly loaded across the surface of the
walkway. Kee® Walk is ideally suited to flat, barrel and
sloping surfaces. |
|
Kee Walk is supplied in standard
modules, which can be supplied ex-stock for rapid
installation on virtually any rooftop project. The modules
are supplied as 1.5m and 3m pre-assembled sections to suit
the requirements of different roofs. These lightweight
modules are constructed from glass reinforced nylon treads
attached to aluminium support beams that are fixed to the
roof surface. Steps and a traverse option, complete with an
adjustable hinge, enable a Kee® Walk installation to be
adapted to roof configurations from 0 through to 35 degrees.
The installer can easily set the angle of the steps, by
removing the locating bolt in the hinge, adjusting the angle
and replacing the bolt at the desired point on the hinge. No
bespoke parts are required. |
