Train Maintenance Safety & Fall Protection

Train maintenance, whether it involves servicing the mechanical components, cleaning, or conducting inspections, often requires workers to operate at heights, on uneven surfaces, or in close proximity to moving parts, all of which pose potential fall hazards. When installing permanent overhead fall arrest systems in train maintenance centers is difficult, using a folding system that can be "stowed away" when not in use seems an ideal solution. We've had firsthand experience with Fallprotec S.A folding Flexbow system a few years back. It's a beam that lets you set up a safeaccess rail overhead. Equipped with an integrated energy absorber, it is a lightweight beam and yet robust design for industrial applications.

What could be better than a height maintenance safety system that skips the whole lengthy process of setting up temporary structures like scaffolding and, as a bonus, trims down maintenance time?

Stairwell openings in shopping malls, airports, or train stations are frequently shielded by glass or screens. Glass serves the purpose of preserving visibility through the stairwell, and screens are utilized for various purposes, including advertising, disseminating vital information to visitors and travelers, conveying warnings, and updating news. Consequently, it is imperative to clean and maintain these areas due to their high traffic and exposure to dirt. Performing the cleaning and maintenance using suspension rails, such as SecuRail Pro or SafeAccess, is efficient, safe, and aesthetics. These aluminum rails are thoughtfully designed to seamlessly blend in with the modern architectural surroundings, ensuring they remain unnoticeable.

Suitable solution for double skin facades maintenance

Double skin facades are becoming a popular trend, therefore their maintenance. Many of these facades feature fixed or electrically movable sunshades on each floor, which require regular cleaning and upkeep, just like the windows of the building. To ensure the safety of workers walking on walkways between the two facades, where collective protection is absent, Fallprotec S.A recommends two types of fall arrest systems: a rigid SecuRailPro or a cable SecuRope, both overhead lifelines. In combination with a fall arrest block (SRL), they effectively reduce the fall distance. Their gliders/trolleys slide smoothly thanks to the high-quality bearings.

However, the rigid rail system offers an additional advantage by further reducing the fall distance. This feature is critical, particularly in areas with low fall clearance, such as the first floor of these buildings. Moreover, compared to the cable system, the rigid rail overhead lifeline transmits less force to the host structure in the event of a fall. Additionally, it usually harmonizes with the aesthetic of the building, ensuring seamless integration.

Why Fallprotec's Davit Arms?

Fallprotec S.A Davit arms are a popular choice for suspended access to clean facades due to their flexibility, safety, ease of use, cost-effectiveness, and aesthetic benefits. They are designed to meet strict safety standards (EN795 & BS8610) and can be used to support various types of suspended access equipment such as rope access specialists or by a worker sitting on a chair or cradle fitted with a Ropeclimber hoist. They are relatively simple to operate and can be easily adjusted to suit the specific needs of the job. Additionally, they are an aesthetic solution as the arm can be removed when not in use, and the base can be covered and hidden, maintaining the aesthetics of the building. 🏢
 

Why Fallprotec's Davit Arms?

Beskope solution for Silos & narrowed spaces

Silos are designed to store food in optimal conditions, maintaining temperature and humidity levels to ensure that the stored grains 🌾 remain fresh for extended periods. However, in order to preserve the quality of the stored food and prevent contamination, silos must be regularly maintained. Typically, access to silos is restricted, with narrow entry dimensions and only accessible from the top.
Fallprotec offers a safe and convenient solution to access these confined spaces by combining a tripod anchorage structure with the RopeClimber hoist. This system enables workers to be lifted up and down with the push of a button, making it the easiest and safest option available.

Secured walkways on top of trucks thanks to the Securail Pro Rail lifeline.

Working on top of trucks poses a high risk of falling from heights. However, setting up ground-based safety systems may not always be feasible, particularly in situations like unloading on a construction site where the site's structure or maneuverability makes it challenging to install safety equipment.

To address the risk of falls from truck tops, Fallprotec S.A installed a secured walkway on top of the truck, utilizing the compact Securail Pro rail. The walkway allows operators to safely access the valves while incorporating a retractable fall arrester to prevent falls within the first few centimeters. The addition of a guardrail ensures easy and secure movement on the truck.

This solution enables customers to transport goods in tankers, including cement, milk, cereals, liquids, powders, oil, gas, and plastics, while having a safety system with them at all times, ensuring their safety and the integrity of their machine.

Fallprotec contribution in the solar panels maintenance

Fallprotec S.A provides reliable solutions for this maintenance: guardrails, lifelines and anchor points. The Securope cable lifeline fits easily between panels, can be fastened on any roof, and can be used simultaneously by up to 4 people, making the maintenance quicker for a faster return to the panels’ full efficiency.

When it comes to solar panels ☀️ it unfolds in 3 steps:
1️⃣ Maintenance of the electrical connections and fixings. 
2️⃣ Running an electroluminescent test for potential hotspots.
3️⃣ Cleaning of the panels themselves.

Working at height cannot be avoided in the first task, so safety is critical, but the last two tasks can NOW be performed without even setting foot on the roof with the SolarCleano robot, which can be safely piloted from the ground cleaning and testing panels efficiently.

Testing firsthand the SafeAccess fall arrest system to protect people who work on top of trucks, trains, machines, or aircraft.

What are some of the risks when working on top of a vehicle?
1. Falling
2. Hitting the side of the machine in the process, if the safety system lets you fall for too long.
At Fallprotec, we tackle the problem at its root: the fall distance. Our SafeAccess monorail does not deflect in case of a fall. For optimal safety, we combined it with retractable fall arresters: they glide perfectly along the rail accompanying the user, but will retain a fall within the first centimeters. 
And it works! Over 100 sites worldwide chose this system to secure their workers on top of trucks, machinery, trains, or even aircraft.

Sistemas de Fallprotec sobre el Hofburg en Viena (AT)

El Hofburg, en Viena, es la antigua residencia de la dinastía Habsburgo, y desde 1946 la residencia del presidente de la federación austriaca.

Para permitir un trabajo seguro en los techos de Hofburg, equipamos todo el techo con dispositivos de anclaje.

El techo consta de junta alzada de cobre. Por esta razón, los dispositivos de seguridad de los cables se montaron con abrazaderas de cobre especiales, para que no se produzca corrosión galvánica. A esto se sumaron los muchos espacios diferentes (60-90 cm) entre las juntas verticales, que requerían soportes hechos a medida para adaptarse a todos los espacios.

El centro del edificio estaba hecho de piedra arenisca. Decidimos instalar el raíl de seguridad Securail Pro. Los ensayos de tracción se llevaron a cabo primero de acuerdo con EN795 para garantizar que la estructura pudiera resistir las fuerzas que actúan sobre ella. Después de pruebas exitosas, fabricamos soportes para permitir que el raíl se alineara correctamente.

Se instalaron un total de alrededor de 800 m de líneas de vida Securope, 100 puntos de anclaje individuales y 180 m de raíles Securail Pro para asegurar toda la superficie del techo.

Instalación en Paris: MastLadder

Este verano, Fallprotec equipó con Mastladders los cuatro pilones de 50 m de altura del estadio de fútbol Georges Suant, en las afueras de París. El proyecto consistía en reemplazar una cesta suspendida usada por nuestro Mastladder. Esta operación requería una medición in situ para asegurar que ninguna interferencia penalizara la instalación, especialmente a nivel del piso superior. No se pudo utilizar la perforación o la soldadura para fijar la escalera al pilón. Como medio de sujeción, se prefería el uso de correas. De hecho, este proceso no altera la resistencia a la corrosión del pilón.

Fallprotec también estuvo presente durante la instalación y puesta en marcha de las escaleras. El cliente expresó su gran satisfacción. De hecho, en todas las etapas del proyecto, pudo confiar en la experiencia de Fallprotec, que dirigió el proyecto de principio a fin.

Limpiando los silos de grano con el RopeClimber Backpack

La limpieza de los silos de grano es una tarea agotadora con los medios habituales de acceso en altura.

Las superficies deben limpiarse con alta presión para eliminar el polvo y evitar la contaminación de los granos.
Muchas empresas utilizan técnicos de acceso por cable o cabrestantes y plataformas pesadas.
El aspecto del rescate de emergencia en espacios confinados también es un desafío clave.

Fallprotec suministra trípodes con el polipasto RopeClimber para acceder a espacios confinados.
El polipasto ligero con cuerda textil se mueve fácilmente de un silo a otro.

El usuario final está protegido por un bloque de detención de caídas con función de recuperación para levantar a la persona en caso de emergencia.

Entregamos un sistema y realizamos la capacitación en la Cooperativa de Granos de Luxemburgo. Los usuarios finales han estado trabajando en el campo desde hace 20 años y estaban entusiasmados con la facilidad de uso y la ergonomía.

RopeClimber Backpack on the Saint Gobain tower in Paris La Défense

The Saint Gobain tower in Paris La Défense, a play of cubes and light that rises up to 170 m in height. This tower is the new headquarters of Saint Gobain, a showcase of the know-how and international image of this group, leader in building materials and high technical performance.

At the top of this totem pole, a greenhouse 40 m high, planted with large Mediterranean trees. For the installation of this glass tiara, the company Eiffage Métal called on Fallprotec to supply 6 RopeClimber suspended chair. The installers were comfortably seated in their harnesses and could adjust and fix the glasses with great precision on the metal structure of the greenhouse. According to Eiffage itself, the operation was economically profitable compared to other solutions.

For over 5 years now, the RopeClimber has proven its high reliability in multiple working environments, congratulations to the entire installation team.

Un sistema de viga móvil diseñado por Fallprotec en un edificio complejo

Fallprotec instaló con su socio local Roofac una plataforma en un centro comercial de Estocolmo para limpieza de un patio con techo y paredes de vidrio.

La plataforma se mueve en el plano horizontal gracias a 2 pares de raíles Safeaccess. Un par, con longitud 12 m, se fija a la estructura del edificio, el segundo par, con longitud 4 m, se conecta al primero con 4 carros.Esta configuración permite acceder a la superficie entera del techo de cristal.

El arquiteco quisó que la plataforma se pueda desmontar para respectar la calidad arquitectural del patio. La plataforma se alza del suelo a los raíles y se conecta a los cuatro carros usando pins.

Cuando la plataforma se desmonta, los carros se usan para suspender un Ropeclimber Backpack y así se limpia las superficies verticales del patio.

Para est proyecto, 4 vigas móviles fueron entregadas para los 4 patios del centro comercial.

Nueva realisación con un sistema Securail

Nuestra empresa Fallprotec S.A. se ha posicionado como una empresa de ingeniería y fabricación de equipos de acceso en altura, que se encuentra entre las unidades de mantenimiento de edificios y los equipos de rappel. Nuestra gama de railes de aluminio y carros nos permite diseñar soluciones a medida para un acceso seguro para los usuarios y equipos fáciles de operar.

La foto adjunta muestra un ejemplo típico de esto en un proyecto en Johannesburgo (Sudáfrica). El edificio tiene una fachada interior que requiere una instalación discreta de railes para rappel. Nuestro nuevo sistema Securail ha sido instalado por lo tanto. Un proyecto como este requiere no solo material de primer nivel, también habilidades de ingeniería, así como una empresa local asociada que maneje todo el espectáculo desde el concepto, la gestión de proyectos, la instalación y el mantenimiento.

Estamos muy contentos de habernos asociado con las empresas Ram Mountaineering y Gravity Access, sin su aporte profesional ni siquiera nos atreveríamos a tocar un proyecto como este.
