KEE GATE SAFESITE
Safesite, a supplier of fall protection solutions, has introduced Kee Gate, a range of self-closing safety gates as part of its product portfolio which provides workers with a safety solution when working at height.
Designed to work both externally and internally as well as on ladders, roof hatches, walkways, with edge protection and plant machinery, Kee Gate ensures maintenance and inspection staff can fulfil their job, follow best practices and comply with current safety standards, without putting their safety at risk. Kee Gates are spring loaded so can automatically close behind the user, providing an added level of security and overcoming the potential for human error. This type of system is the preferred solution to chains, bars or sliding tubes, as these traditional forms of protection can lead to a hazardous void, when used incorrectly.
Kee Gate is available in galvanised steel and if required can be powder coated in safety yellow. The safety gate is available with standard 'U' bolts for fixing to uprights of 33.7, 42.4 and 48.3 mm diameter, enabling the gate to be fixed quickly to existing supporting structures, posts or stringers. An additional fixing pack is provided which allows the gate to be fixed to square, flat or angle uprights. Easy to install or to retro-fit existing structures, such as galvanised handrails and roof edge protection systems, Kee Gate is one metre wide. Designed to be trimmed on-site, this solution saves companies the time and money it takes to fabricate their own gates.
LEV SYSTEM WESTERN AIR DUCTS
Western Air Ducts have recently fitted their complete, intelligent LEV system in the UK’s new High Temperature Research Centre (HTRC).
One of the prime challenges for Western Air Ducts in the design and specification of this complex LEV installation was the client’s requirement for a highly flexible solution, not only in the initial phase, but also to “future proof” the building, allowing for the later installation of a wide variety of different machines and processes.
In addition, the design and build of the facility was on an ambitious timescale, so that during the initial LEV design stage, although “zones of activity” had been determined, the shop floor production equipment that was to be vented had not yet been selected.
To meet this critical need for flexibility, Western Air Ducts designed a comprehensive LEV system consisting of eight independent systems, each serving a particular area in the facility, and each being equipped with the company’s patented Inteliair™ system – to provide maximum control and energy efficiency.
The innovative principle behind Inteliair is the integration of a programmable logic controller into the air control system. This optimises the efficiency of dust extraction, fume extraction and ventilation systems by continuously monitoring demand and then regulating the extraction or supply of air in accord with that demand. Traditional LEV systems are not able to react to actual demand; being simply either “on” or “off”, resulting in low operational efficiency, high energy costs and consequent environmental impact – all of which issues were overcome by the Western Air Ducts solution.
