While erecting the steel framework of a new 68,000m2 mixed-use building in the Helsinki-Vantaa Airport area of Finland, contractor SRV Rakennus Oy required a preventative solution that would negate the risk to anyone working at height and protect the workforce at ground level. So Combisafe supplied 500 of its lightweight, versatile Steel Mesh Barriers.

The barrier is essentially a guardrail, toeboard and mesh rolled into one. It can span trades, accommodating their different edge protection needs at different phases of the construction project.

"The Steel Mesh Barrier proved to be the best solution because it offered protection to the workers at height and against falling objects to the workers below," says Markku Kallioinen, site manager, SRV Rakennus Oy. "It was easy and quick to install and gave the site a professional look."
