Safe Access Platform for rooftop maintenance at an educational facility

Improved Rooftop Access for Educational Facility Maintenance


Project Overview

Routine maintenance of rooftop mechanical equipment is essential for keeping educational facilities operating efficiently. However, when building systems are located on multiple roof levels, maintenance personnel require a reliable and secure way to access equipment for inspections, servicing, and repairs.

An educational facility in Alberta required a permanent solution to access rooftop HVAC and mechanical units located on an upper roof level. Existing access methods did not provide the level of protection and convenience needed for ongoing maintenance activities, prompting the facility's maintenance team to seek a long-term alternative.

Creating a Permanent Access Solution for Rooftop Mechanical Equipment

The Challenge

Facility maintenance teams regularly access rooftop equipment to perform inspections, routine servicing, and repairs. As maintenance requirements increased, the need for a dedicated access route between roof levels became more important.

Without a purpose-built access solution, personnel faced challenges reaching critical rooftop equipment efficiently. The facility required a solution that would:

  • Improve access to rooftop mechanical equipment.
  • Support maintenance activities throughout the year.
  • Reduce exposure to fall hazards during rooftop access.
  • Provide a long-term solution with minimal maintenance requirements.

The Solution

Following a site assessment, Kee Safety recommended Kee Platform (a SAP Product) to provide permanent access between roof levels and support routine maintenance activities. The platform was designed to give maintenance personnel and service contractors a reliable route to rooftop equipment while helping improve overall access conditions.

The SAP solution provides:

  • A permanent access route between roof levels.
  • A purpose-built platform for rooftop maintenance activities.
  • Durable construction designed for long-term use.
  • A low-maintenance solution suitable for facility environments.

By installing a permanent Safe Access Platform, the facility now has a reliable solution for accessing rooftop equipment while supporting efficient maintenance operations.

The Benefits

The completed installation provided maintenance teams with a dedicated rooftop access solution designed to support ongoing building operations and equipment servicing.
  • Improved Equipment Accessibility: Maintenance personnel can now access rooftop mechanical units more efficiently, helping streamline inspection, servicing, and maintenance activities.
  • Enhanced Rooftop Safety: The platform provides a more secure route to elevated work areas, helping reduce exposure to fall hazards during rooftop access.
  • Fast Installation: The solution was installed quickly, allowing the facility to improve rooftop access with minimal disruption to day-to-day operations.
  • Long-Term Reliability: The durable design provides a practical, low-maintenance solution that will support facility maintenance requirements for years to come.
