Limiting the need to work at height, the New Filigree Attachment enables the Steel Mesh Barrier or Guardrails to be installed at ground level, with benefits for both precaster and contractor.

Easily located at the required position during the factory casting process, the New Filligree Attachment is placed independently, and rotated on its three feet, to suit the fixing of any other rebar/mesh.

The slabs are delivered to site, and the plastic sleeves are supplied cut to suit the onsite slab depth. The SMB Posts and barriers/guardrails are quickly dropped into the New Filigree Attachment, and then the slab is lifted into place, eliminating the need to work at height. The operative who then has to walk onto the slab to release the chains is already working on a protected area.

 


Compliant to EN13374 Class A; the New Filigree Attachment offers a cost effective, quick and safe method of producing a safe work at hight environment for the workforce.
