Every year, hundreds of people are injured on roofs, facades, or other sites with height-related hazards. Many of these accidents could beprevented with appropriate fall protection systems. INNOTECH is an expert in this field and has been helping to set the standards for high-quality fall protection systems for many years, offering the right safety system for a wide variety of facades and structures of the building.
Structures of the building are as unique as their architects. Facades, in particular, play a significant role in architecture. They tell stories and breathe life into a building with their striking appearance. To ensure this remains the case for decades or even centuries, regular cleaning, upkeep, and servicing are necessary. However, people performing these tasks work in areas with a risk of falling (from a height) and must be properly secured against falls.
To preserve the beauty of the facade, a balance must be struck between safety and aesthetics. For this reason, the architect should take an appropriate safety system into account as early as the planning stage. This can be optimally integrated into the facade construction from the very beginning. Furthermore, this approach saves on the high additional costs that would be incurred if a fall protection system were installed retroactively.
INNOTECH: Your Expert in Facade Fall Protection Systems
As experts in fall protection systems, we not only assist you with comprehensive planning but also develop customised solutions tailored to the specific facade construction. Our extensive network of partners assists with the installation and servicing of the safety system. As a general rule: The earlier the professional is involved, the easier it is to implement an invisible fall protection system, with or without the use of the rope access method.
Rope access method for facade safety
The TAURUS rail system enables straightforward cleaning, servicing, and upkeep, especially on vertical or sloped facades with smooth surfaces. However, “accessible” (such as curtain-wall) facades can also be optimally ensured for safety against falls (from a height). The aluminum rail is mounted along the facade structure and can be flexibly positioned. This allows for the securing of all shapes and design variants. Furthermore, installation on a wide variety of substrates is possible. Last but not least, the rail system is also suitable for rope access methods. This method allows for positioning at specific points on the facade that are difficult or nearly impossible to access.
Benefits of Fall Protection Systems for Facades
- Maximum safety during cleaning, servicing, and upkeep activities on a wide variety of facade structures.
- Preservation of the facade’s appearance through the installation of an appropriate fall protection system.
- Optimal access to the entire facade surface thanks to the ability to use the rope access method.
- Minimal visibility thanks to the slim rail cross-section and the high-quality rail design available in a variety of colors.
Challenges Related to Facade Safety Systems
- Preserving the appearance of the structure of the building
The appearance of the structure of the building and its facade should not be compromised by a fall protection system — yet this is often the case when an inappropriate or poorly chosen system is used. The primary goal should be to select a safety system that integrates visually appealingly and unobtrusively into the facade structure. - High Costs
If the fall protection system is not taken into account from the very beginning of the planning process, technical shortcomings such as building transitions, projections, etc., may require special constructions that entail significant additional financial costs. Timely planning can prevent this. - Complex Structures
Complex facades and building structures require specialized fall protection systems. These must adapt optimally to the contours of the structure of the building. - TAURUS: The top choice among fall protection systems for facades
The TAURUS rail system from INNOTECH combines all these advantages and more than meets the challenges faced by architects, property owners, facility managers, and others. This robust and versatile system handles virtually any architectural feature and provides the highest level of safety for people working in fall-hazard areas during servicing or cleaning activities.
