Enhancing Rooftop Safety and Accessibility with Kee Step


Project Overview

Kee Safety collaborated with Gravysis Inc, a consulting, design, and project management company located in the province of Alberta, to enhance the safety and accessibility of a new building’s rooftop. The company needed to provide its client with safe access to various roof parts for routine maintenance of mechanical equipment and service windows. To ensure compliance before the building’s opening, Kee Safety installed Kee Step rooftop crossovers, offering a modular and non-penetrating solution.

Our client's need was to avoid disruption of the new structure and provide secure access.

The Challenge

The client faced the challenge of ensuring safe and compliant access to the rooftop for maintenance tasks without compromising the integrity of the new construction. They needed a solution that would provide secure walkways across the roof, allowing maintenance personnel to reach different areas easily. Additionally, the solution had to be non-penetrating to prevent disruption or damage to the newly developed building.

The Solution

Kee Safety addressed these needs by installing Kee Step Rooftop Crossovers. This product is designed to provide safe and reliable access across rooftops, ensuring that maintenance personnel can navigate the roof securely. The modular nature of Kee Step rooftop crossovers allowed for easy customization and installation, adapting to the specific layout of the rooftop. Furthermore, the non-penetrating design ensured that the new building's structure remained intact and undisturbed during installation.
