Case Studies

Non-Conductive Platform Edge Protection for Specialist Construction and Railways.

The non-conductive Platform Edge Protection system enables a much safer working environment and reduces the potential risk of injuries on and around a platform. Specifically designed for railway platforms, preventing the risk of workers/the public falling from platforms and coming into conflict with a moving plant or train in a railway environment.

Made from pultruded glass-reinforced plastic, the Platform Edge Protection is non-conductive and offers more advantages in comparison to metallic alternatives and has an extensive lifespan.
The protection barrier provides enough strength to the lateral force of someone falling against it and onto the tracks, therefore, preventing serious injury and even death.

With factors like resistance to corrosion, high tensile strength, high impact resistance and lightweight nature, they can eliminate the need for bonding when working in an electric railway environment compared to steel equivalents. The clamp system also has the benefit of not damaging railway platforms and the system is supplied with clamp and chain pins for easy installation.

A perfect solution!

With the growth in passenger numbers expected to rise, it means that the UK’s railway infrastructure will need to deliver major investment programmes in railway protection safety. This is where our Platform Edge Protection provides the perfect solution and preventative measure.
