The building

Goodman's Fields is a multi-story development in London that was designed with a large amount of glazing on the façade. Eurosafe provided a solution in the form of single anchor points that helped with the installation of the glass.

This is a mixed-use urban quarter providing a selection of exceptional studios, one, two and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses together with new retail commercial space, student accommodation and a hotel.

The requirements

Installation of the predominantly glazed external façade presented a problem for our client, Feldhaus, Fenster + Fassaden, as much of the installation had to be carried out from within the rooms of the development. The traditionally used fixed temporary edge protection barriers would not have been a viable option for the works as this would have prevented the installation operatives from achieving the close proximity to the glazing they required.

The solution

Eurosafe installed a total of 700No’ PPE Anchor Points mainly to the concrete floor slabs above where the installation of the glazing was to be carried out. The anchor points were installed at a distance from the fall hazard, which, when used in conjunction with a full body harness and set-length Inertia Reel, provided full, safe access to the areas where the operatives were required to work, enabling the client to carry out their element of the works in a safe, cost-effective and timely manner.

Upon completion of the glazing installation, the eyebolts were removed from the floor slab, allowing the internal finishes to be installed by other contractors.
