We recently had the privilege of designing and manufacturing a cutting-edge safety walkway system that has set a new standard for pedestrian protection in busy warehouse environments.
This game-changing solution has transformed Winstone Wallboards state-of-the-art facility in Tauranga, New Zealand, into a highly secure zone for foot traffic, significantly enhancing safety in high-risk areas.
From the outset of this new-build project, our Research and Development (R&D) team was partnered with Fletcher Building to bring their vision to life. Taking into account the risk, we customised a safety walkway system tailored to the unique demands of the site. Drawing on decades of experience and innovation we created an outcome to suit the strict safety and operational requirements.
Key Features:
The final product represents a seamless integration of innovation and functionality, delivering outstanding safety outcomes, including:
– Encased Protection: Fully enclosed on all sides, safeguarding pedestrians from hazards such as falling objects and vehicle impact.
