Definitions

  • the present invention relates to modular assemblies for use as enclosed walkways and is particularly applicable but in no way limited to demountable enclosed pedestrian walkway tunnel assemblies for assembly on building sites and public walkways adjacent to building sites and the like to protect pedestrians walking through the walkway tunnels assembly from falling debris and the like.
  • Scaffolding is widely used in many situations and comprises elongate steel tubes which are secured together to define a rigid structure.
  • the structure is generally arranged on the outside of a building and is arranged to support wooden platforms suitably defined by planks of wood.
  • the platforms define walkways which allow workmen to move around and work on the outside of the building in a safe manner.
  • the scaffolding structure When scaffolding is used in relation to a building which is adjacent a pavement, the scaffolding structure will extend upwardly from and span the pavement adjacent the building. It is often undesirable or inconvenient to prevent access to that stretch of pavement and, accordingly, parts of the scaffolding adjacent the pavement may be clad with wooden sheets in order to define an enclosed walkway at the bottom of the scaffold structure.
  • Enclosed walkways of the type described can be time consuming to assemble. Furthermore, gaps may be present between the sheets which make up the assembly through which dust and other particulate matter may pass.
  • the wooden sheets which define the walkway may not be sufficiently strong to resist penetration/damage by falling material, for example bricks. Also, the walkways are generally unaesthetic.
  • a safe route for pedestrians and other traffic may be required through a building site or hazardous area where there is no scaffolding in a suitable place to support cladding to form a suitable route.
  • An example of this could be during refurbishment of a hospital site.
  • Patients, staff and visitors need a safe route through any building works.
  • a temporary wooden structure is often constructed having two side walls, a roof, and sometimes a floor.
  • Such structures are time consuming to build, expensive in both labour and materials, and at the end of the project the wooden sheets employed are usually scrapped, because there is no immediate use for them and storage space, even if it was available, is very expensive. So consequently the wooden sheets are rarely, if ever, re-used.
  • demounting a wooden walkway is extremely time-consuming.
  • GB231 1090 describes an enclosure device which provides an alternate protected walkway through scaffolding which is supported by scaffolding poles and forms part of the scaffolding.
  • the problem with this is that the walkway may not always be through an area where scaffolding is in place and therefore such scaffolding poles may not be in existence.
  • the enclosure described in GB-2, 31 1 ,090 is not self-supporting.

By altering the width or height of these panels you can alter the direction of the tunnel i.e. reduce the width of a panel to the right side will pull the tunnel right (relative to special roof panel lining up with decreased dimensions)
  • Roof panel standard size governs the width (is the same as the width of the wall panels) and length of the tunnel these panels have holes along there edges which are precision machined to align with the roof channels holes to enable a mechanical fixing to hold it into place.
  • Roof end panel makes up the smaller (half offset) panel at the ends of the panel these can be adjusted in size to allow for corners and adjustments to the tunnel direction.
  • Roof 'C channel forms the mechanical fixing medium for the nuts on the inside of the tunnel to locate on to the also provide additional stiffness to the tunnel each section has two rows of nutserts RTM positioned to line up with the holes in the roof panel this enables the tunnel to be erected from within the confides of small spaces as the materials can be raised into position and then secured into place.
  • Wall 'C channels form the stiffeners to the side of the wall and tie the two side panels together. They also form a firm end post that terminates the side of the tunnel. Each one has precision cut holes in it to align with the holes in the wall panels.

  • the tunnel is further provided with a service void.
  • This feature has the ability to be used as a small void which in turn can be used to help manage services that need to be routed along the tunnel (alarms, cctv, power etc).
  • the external faces of the tunnel can also be utilised to mount various service trays as they are strong enough to carry this additional requirements. This helps to keep the Safe Route tunnel look. Key Design points
  • the tunnel has been developed to speed up the onsite installation of temporary protected walkways installed through live construction work faces. Using a combination of light steel and aluminium sections, prefabricated panels are delivered to site and assembled using a simple methodology, complimentary of safe working site practices and environmental & waste targets.
  • the tunnel is recyclable and can be erected and dismantled in a short period of time.
  • Doors and changes in direction can be accommodated plus with the use of skirting system height fluctuations can be accommodated.
  • the tunnel is made out of readily available materials and can be adjusted to accommodate bespoke scenarios.
  • the service section can also help with the redirection of temporary services that the tunnel may need for lighting, alarms and CCTV.
  • the standard design can also assist with the preplanning of new tunnels and can be modelled on to other overviews.
  • Areas of application include the movement of people, materials, livestock valuable products from a point to another. It gives the client infinite possibilities to reroute this traffic by adjusting a small number of components.
  • Our standard modular system provides a clear walkway of 2350mm with a floor to ceiling of 2250mm and is fabricated using aluminium and galvanized steel, no single component is heavier than 38kg therefore suitable for a 2 man safe assembly process.
