Kee Safety Edge Protection and Step Overs Provide Safety on The Oslo Congress Centre Roof


Project Details

A combination of safety products from Kee Safety have been installed on the roof of the Oslo Kongressenter building in Norway to provide a first-class edge protection solution for maintenance and inspection teams accessing the rooftop.

Located in the heart of Oslo in Norway, Oslo Kongressenter is a state-of-the-art conference centre consisting of more than 20 event rooms. The Congress Centre hosts nearly 1,000 events every year, ranging from smaller meetings and major conferences to banquets, Christmas dinners and concerts. The history of the “People’s House” dates back to the end of the 19th century, however today's building was completed in 1989.

Customer required a fall protection solution for maintenance and inspection teams accessing the rooftop

Background

With maintenance teams regularly accessing the roof to carry out work on the building services equipment, the client required a complete roof edge protection and safe access solution.

Kee Safety partnered with our long-standing Norwegian distributor, to provide technical assistance by carrying out a full site survey, as well as making layout plans and detailed technical drawings, which were used in the presentation to the end user.

Due to the client specifying that no holes should penetrate the watertight membrane on the roof of this iconic building, Kee Guard® Rooftop Guardrails and Kee Step® Step Overs were the chosen Kee Safety solutions.

380 linear meters of Kee Guard® Free Standing Roof Edge Protection and Kee Guard® Railing for Roofs with Limited Space were installed along all sides and roof levels, while Kee Step® Step-over platforms were fitted to provide a safe means of access over pipework and other equipment.
