New RhinoDeck component improves safe deck access

Sayfa Systems has introduced a new component to the RhinoDeck range to enable the installation of a protected ladder access at any point in the RhinoDeck installation.

The sliding hand-rail post can be fitted over any cross brace to provide an additional upright hand-rail post at any point to enable the fitting of a gate access and handrail around a ladder access point installed from below. The same principle can be applied to installing a supplementary ladder access point along an exposed edge already protected by a handrail.

Loadable to 600kg/m2, RhinoDeck is lightweight, quick to assemble and continues to be widely used as an all-metal freestanding decking system for house building.

The RhinoDeck Method Statement (which can be downloaded from the Sayfa Systems website) has been substantially revised to give clear instructions for the use of this component.

SMARTPLY SITEPROTECT hoarding available in 16mm thickness

MEDITE SMARTPLY has introduced a new 16mm thickness to its SMARTPLY SITEPROTECT range of highly engineered, moisture-resistant, pre-primed OSB3 panel, specifically designed for demanding hoarding applications. This new 16mm thickness will increase the versatility of SMARTPLY SITEPROTECT and is in line with the Temporary Works Forum’s Guide to Good Practice. The existing 18mm board is still available.

SMARTPLY SITEPROTECT comes pre-primed with a heavy duty, cross-linked polymer primer, is structurally sound and can be manufactured in sizes of up to three metres high, ensuring maximum security. The board only needs application of a top coat, saving contractors time and energy and making the product ideal for use either as a temporary hoarding where time is of the essence, or as a long-term security installation in high-profile locations.
