During the construction of the 21 storey Raiffeisen Tower in Vienna - designed to set a world benchmark in terms of sustainability - the main contractor turned to safety at height specialist brand Combisafe.

The versatile Combisafe Safety Net Fan formed an effective fall-arrest system for the workforce and also protected pedestrians and cars at ground level from falling objects and debris. With an energy absorption of up to 4.4 Kj, the Safety Net Fan is available in two standard lengths 4.2m and 6m. It can be installed using the Combisafe Loose Slab Attachment which means brickwork can be built over the attachment allowing for greater flexibility of the fan position.

It is tested to comply with EN 1263 the European standard for safety netting and can arrest falls of up to 100kg from a height of up to 6m.
