Rapid-EPS Ltd are constantly reviewing the

aspects and impacts which could be placed on the

environment by the activities associated with the

manufacture of our construction safety products.

Environmental awareness is

key to our success

in delivering a

sustainable

product

so

we employ the services of the United Registrar of Systems

to conduct regular and stringent audits on the processes

surrounding the manufacture of Rapid-EPS products.

The annual audits ensure our manufacturing processes

have minimum impact on the environment

and the scope of our activities

meet the requirements

set down to achieve

registration to ISO

14001:2004.

A completely sustainable product which has been designed to meet the challenges and expectations of the construction industry today.

RE-USE

Rapid-EPS products are

all designed and manufactured with multiple re-use in mind.

The robust design and substantial coating ensures that the system can be

constantly placed back into service.

On return from site, a full inspection of the product would take place which could possibly

identify certain defects.

If defects are found, the design of the product ensures that with minimum repair and general

refurbishment, the system would soon be serviced and placed back into stock for future use.

A fully compliant system offering many

years of service.

RECYCLE

The system will be constantly exposed to the

harsh construction challenges of today so it is inevitable that eventually, after many uses, the components may become damaged and visually unacceptable.

This doesn’t mean that the product is at the end of its life and that landfill is in sight!

The robust design of Rapid Fall Prevention Systems will ensure that

extended product life is achieved with minimum impact on the environment.

The process of repairing and re-coating the components has minimum

impact on the environment and ensures that the product has

extended life, is visually acceptable and fully

compliant for placing back into service

for many years to come.

QUALITY

Along with our environmental targets, the overall quality of our product is at the forefront of our

management processes.

The on-site performance and life expectancy of our products relies heavily on the design and manufacture of a robust and quality assured system and compromises

are not made at Rapid EPS when striving to meet these expectations.

As such, the United Registrar of Systems undertake regular and stringent audits on the scope of our activities to ensure we meet the

requirements set down to achieve registration to ISO 9001: 2008.

Rapid-EPS Ltd System Testing, Class A & Class B

The standard for temporary edge protection systems is known as BS EN 13374: 2013 and clearly states how the tests should be carried out.

In order to meet the requirements for a Class B edge protection

system, Class A static load testing should first be

carried out.

Class B

The edge protection must resist the same static loading requirements for Class A and additionally must pass a low dynamic impact

test using a specifically designed test rig and impact sphere.

This test applies impact energy of 0.5KJ to the top rail and 1.1KJ

to the lower areas.

Our Rapid Panels are manufactured using the latest robotic technology. Our robotic line alone is capable of manufacturing 3000 Linear Metres of panels per week.

Class A

The edge protection must resist a horizontal force of 0.3KN whilst maintaining elastic deflection within 55mm.

The top guardrail must also accept a vertical force of 1.25KN applied as an accidental loading.

The Rapid Edge Protection System has had numerous static loads applied up to four times this requirement.

We are a leading supplier of solutions for fixing to steel structures

STEEL FRAME SOLUTIONS

STEEL STRUCTURES

Where conditions allow, the rapid edge protection system can be

installed at ground level which significantly reduces exposure to the

dangers of working at height.

Pre-indexing of the system ensures the barriers are suitable for all

following works.

• The most efficient edge protection system available today with

fixing centers tested to 2.7m.

• Single or extended height edge protection for total enclosure

• Edge protection barriers in three sizes: full (2900mm), half

(1400mm) and quarter (655mm).

• Barriers are incredibly light but robust, allowing edge protection for

leading edge, internal voids and lift / elevator shafts.

• Flexible components allowing simple indexing

to suit variable slab detail.

Rapid-EPS's Steel Frame Solutions consist of 3 main components.

Webfix bracket: incremental

indexing facility to cater

for overhangs in excess of

900mm.

I –Beam clamp: Single fixing

and able to be fitted to any

hot rolled beam or column

with horizontal clearance to

cope with virtually all slab

overhangs on un-drilled

fabricated steel work.

Sacrificial sockets: Supplied

by others, to work in

conjunction with standard

Steel Frame System.

1313

BOLT ON SOCKETThe Bolt On Socket system is commonly used on steel frames and

requires the steelwork contractor to bolt the socket to the top of the

perimeter beam at centres specified by our technical team.

Utilising the steel frame support post and Rapid Panel, the

installation can be carried out swiftly and safely at ground level.

I-BEAM CLAMPThe solution is used for areas where web fix or sockets are

not suitable or where edge protection requirements have not

been considered at an earlier stage.

Again, utilising standard Rapid Barrier Panels and

support posts, the system is fully compliant with global

safety standards.

SACRIFICIAL SOCKETThe Sacrificial Socket system is commonly

used on steel frames and requires the

steelwork contractor to weld the socket to

the perimeter beam at centres specified by

our technical team.

Utilising the steel frame support post

and Rapid Panel, the installation can be

carried out swiftly and safely at ground level.

Web Fix Extension Brackets increase the capabilities of the

standard range of bracketary from 560mm, out to 1300mm.

WEB FIXThe most popular method of fixing to the steel frame is by utilising the

versatile web fix bracket. The bracket offers a vertical and horizontal

indexing facility and positioning of the fixing holes for the bracket would

be modelled by our technical team by using the most up to date software

packages.

STEP 1 - ASSESSMENTOn receipt of drawings, the team will make assessments of the areas to be protected.This process acts as a working brief and ensures any potential problem areas are considered and discussed at the early stage of the enquiry. This assists in making sure the most suitable and efficient solution is supplied.

STEP 2 - QUOTATION A quotation will be prepared with supporting outline drawings showing the assessment of the areas to be protected and the general quantity of perimeter edge protection required. This process offers the client the opportunity to question the installation requirements and consider the overall project costs.

STEP 3 - DETAILING On instruction to proceed, the technical team will produce the detailing requirements and final positioning of the edge protection solutions. Supporting guidance and drawings can be supplied at this stage which will assist the installers with positioning the correct equipment in the correct areas.

STEP 4 - SUPPLYOn instruction from the client, the deliveries of equipment will be made to site in a phased manner and at a time to suit site activity. This ensures you are getting what you need, when you need it. Project management and site support is on hand from the start of your project until completion.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALRapid-EPS have made huge improvements

to many of the products currently utilised in

the scaffolding industry. I would recommend

their ladder gates, trap doors and loading

bay gates, and testify to the increased quality

over what is currently available in the market.

Their in-house design and engineering team

are another benefit of using Rapid-EPS when

looking to fabricate a bespoke product.

Allied Scaffolding Limited would also

recommend the Rapid Edge protection

post and mesh panels as being the best

such product that we have worked with.

Many of our customers now insist on this

product when specifying edge protection.

Pete Ferris

Director - Allied Developments

The AnchorFast system has been specifically

designed to provide short term safety measures

for low frequency, work at height operations.

The AnchorFast system is ideal for short

term operations where the use of collective

perimeter edge protection cannot be used.

The modular AnchorFast system has been designed with

ease of use in mind. The components are robust but easy

to handle and simple to assemble which together offers rapid

protection against the hazards associated with working at height.

A fall restraint solution for low frequency operations
