The HWS perimeter safety screen is a self-climbing system for ensuring perimeter safety during the construction of high-rise buildings. Based on the MK system, it is versatile, it can easily be adapted to different geometries and has various configurations according to needs: straight section, with working platforms, debris section, with option to lift materials to different levels, with access stairs, etc.
The HWS is designed to protect workers against harsh weather and prevent them, or objects, falling from the edge of the slab and also to protect pedestrians from falling debris.
In short, this is a self-climbing system with a multitude of applications that provides maximum safety and great performance at height.
Main functions:
- Prevents people or objects falling from the slabs
- Offers excellent protection against harsh weather
- Avoids vertigo
- Provides a platform for tasks over the slab edge thickness
Configuration examples:
- HWS with storage and material lifting platforms at different levels and working platform
- Basic section with platform for material unloading
- Debris section: extension of the slab as perimeter working and material storage platform. It avoids falling debris when removing formwork tables and provides a large advertising area towards the street
- Access stairways in HWS
- HWS with working platform
- Straight section
- MK system flexibility, adaptable to different geometries and configuration needs
- Common accessories with other MK solutions
- Allows the use of different types of safety screens:
- Telescopic perforated steel panels.
- HWS Panels (opaque or semi-transparent, stiff or elastic, etc.).
- Corner Panels.
- Material lifting platforms can be part of the windshield panels
- Provides access between the last floors of the building
- Platform for works at the slab edge
- The system can be raised by means of hydraulic system or crane
- Allows three possible types of anchorage: anchorage on slab, slab-end anchoring system, anchorage on wall
- Adapts well to the geometry of irregular slabs, including geometries varying in height
- Encloses the entire perimeter without leaving any gaps
- Provides large vertical surfaces for promotional messages
HCT Gibraltar is a project with 665 state-subsidised properties developed and promoted by the Government of Gibraltar, the largest residential construction underway now and in the years to come.
The Brooklyn Tower is a 73 storey tower standing at 325 m, making it the tallest building in Brooklyn. The skyscraper is planned to have over 500 residential units in addition to commercial space.
In Warsaw, the Forest office and service complex, a 120-metre high skyscraper, is under construction.
Crane free, self-climbing system. Allows high construction speed and provides multiple applications for each high-rise project. Safe lifting and handling.
Flexible rail-guided climbing formwork for high-rise buildings. Highlights: optimised structure and easy to use.
Tough plywood with smooth surface most suitable for different needs. It enables more repeated uses than conventional plywood and offers excellent fair-faced concrete finish.
