Kee Klamp Ltd - KeeGuard® System provides protection at Primark
Maintenance crews accessing the rooftop of
Cheltenham’s Primark building can work in complete
safety when accessing rooftop plant thanks to the recent
installation of a KeeGuard® roof edge protection system
from Kee Klamp Ltd.
National fit-out and refurbishment specialists ISG
Dean+Bowes were contracted to carry out a series of
internal and external alterations at the recently opened
Primark store on Cheltenham’s high street, including the
installation of new air-conditioning plant. Recognising
that the KeeGuard® system can provide effective
permanent protection against falls from height, ISG
Dean+Bowes specified the system to assure optimum safety
for operatives servicing and maintaining this and other
equipment.
As a result, the KeeGuard® roof edge protection system
has been installed to surround the building’s rooftop
plant area. Additional features include a self-closing
gate to enhance fall protection and still allow ease of
access. The new KeeGuard® system is also quick and easy
to erect, which kept installation noise and disruption
to a minimum for customers at the high street store.
The KeeGuard® system allows the guardrail to be placed
in the saddle of an open fitting, making system assembly
up to twice as fast as conventional roof edge protection
systems. The system also allows for considerable
versatility in assembly. Individual sections are
connected together using standard tubing and Kee Klamp
Ltd’s extensive range of fittings for a strong, rigid
and virtually maintenance free connection. Using these
fittings the system can cope easily with any changes in
angle or direction without the need for any additional
fabrication work. Each Kee Klamp® fitting incorporates
an integral set screw to lock the casting safely and
securely onto the tube.
The KeeGuard® system is fully tested to EN 14122 : pt 3,
HSE Specialist Inspectors Report No 15, and complies
with the requirements of HS (G) 33 – Safety in Roofwork,
HSE Sheet 21 – “Working on Flat Roofs”, BS6399: Part 2
1995 Wind Code and all other relevant Health and Safety,
EU and CDM regulations. All assemblies utilise fittings
approved by TüV, one of Europe’s independent test
houses, for extra peace of mind.
