Case Study: Roof Access Lifeline System for Unique Wave Roof Refurbishment

The client contacted Safesite to design and install a compliant roof access lifeline system for a historic building with an unusual wave-shaped roof. The structure’s unique architectural features and the limited space on-site presented challenges for the installation. Additionally, the project was phased due to the confined site, meaning Safesite needed to adapt to a flexible schedule, with different roof areas becoming accessible at various stages.

After assessing the project’s specific requirements and constraints, Safesite selected the Kee Line Roof Access Lifeline System as the optimal solution. Kee Line was chosen for its:

• Durability and Compliance: The Kee Line system offers robust fall protection and meets all work-at-height safety standards, ensuring long-term safe access.
• Adaptability: Designed for complex roof structures, Kee Line is flexible enough to conform to the building’s unique wave roof design.
• Minimal Visual Impact: The system is unobtrusive and invisible from the ground, preserving the building’s architectural integrity and aesthetic.

Safesite coordinated closely with the client to execute a phased installation plan that aligned with the construction schedule. Each stage of the installation was carefully planned to ensure that roof access was granted only to areas that had been completed, minimising disruption and maintaining a safe working environment throughout the process.

Safesite’s extensive experience in work-at-height safety and fall protection enabled us to deliver a high-quality, compliant solution that met the unique needs of the client’s wave roof refurbishment project.

Our strategic planning and phased installation approach ensured that the lifeline system was safely and effectively integrated without affecting the building’s appearance.
