Protection at the top

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.”
