System 2000 Guardrail

System 2000 Guardrail is BBA approved and has been designed specifically to provide permanent edge protection where regular access for maintenance and inspections is required.

Our system provides the following benefits:
• All components to complete the guardrail layout ordered
• Site specific guardrail layout drawing
• Component lists for each roof area
• Support legs pre-assembled ready for installation
• British Board of Agrement Approved wind calculations
• Full Installation Guide
• Technical Help Line


The guardrail system’s simple cantilevered design provides permanent edge protection without the need to mechanically fix the system through the roofing membrane or building’s structure. This simple design provides unrivalled strength, stability and safety and overcomes the problem of having to drill and puncture the roof membrane which can lead to potential water damage and noise disturbance during installation.

System 2000 guardrail consists of galvanised tubing joined together using the “Safeclamp” method of connection. The vertical leg has been specially designed so that the foot base can be raised or lowered allowing the system to be levelled during installation. This sliding base design also means that future re-roofing work can be easily undertaken without the need to dismantle the system. Fluted rubber matting has been bonded to the underside of all components which come into contact with the roof membrane to prevent any damage to the membrane. This also has the additional benefit of adding to the frictional resistance of the system to prevent any movement.

System 2000 guardrail has been fully assessed and awarded British Board of Agrement Approval (BBA). This independent certification is your guarantee that the guardrail system is designed, manufactured and installed to its full specification and tested correctly.


MATERIALS
System 2000 is fabricated from steel to BS EN 10025 S275 Grade : 1993 and S275JO Grade. All steel components are then hot dipped galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461.
Guardrail upper and lower rails are produced in steel - 48.3mm external diameter.  All fixing screws are A2 Grade Stainless Steel and are greased before installation.
All cast clamps used to join the guardrail are galvanised malleable cast iron produced to BS EN 1562 :1997 founding malleable cast iron. All components in contact with the roof membrane are covered with 3mm fluted rubber. Counter weights are totally fabricated in steel. Where tubing is cut on site zinc rich paint is applied to the cut end of the tube.

LAYOUT

Height of guardrail is set at 1100mm. All vertical supports are set at no more than 2M centres with counter weights set at no more than 4M centres on a straight run. All stop ends are double counter weighted or supported by way of a wall/ladder clamp.

TESTING
 
System 2000 has been tested to EN 13374:2004 Temporary Edge Protection Systems - Product Specification Test Methods and has been awarded a Class A Pass.

WIND LOADING

System 2000 was assessed by the British Board of Agrément to ensure compliance with BS 6399 : Part 2 : 1997 Code of Practice for Wind Loads. This is fully documented and approved by the British Board of Agrément.
