Definitions

  • existing walkways comprise scaffold framework structures, to which double layered plaster board is affixed.
  • a problem with existing walkways is that they take a considerable amount of time to construct because bolts need to be threaded through each part of the framework to secure the framework in place. Additionally, the wall panels are bolted to the framework in order to secure them with the bolts passing through the panels. The resulting holes in the panels render them subsequently unusable once the walkway is dismantled because the fire resistance and structural integrity in compromised. Because of all of the bolts, such walkways are known to take a considerable amount of man-power and time to assemble, which increases the cost of the walkway. Due to time restrictions on when the walk can be carried out, for example on public transport facilities where only a small window during the night is available for assembly of walkways, works can be delayed, thereby leading to increased cost and public risk.
  • the present invention is directed to a walkway, which is adapted to be readily dismantled, comprising a framework and a plurality of substantially rigid panels, wherein the framework comprises a plurality of releasably connecting parts, including a plurality of substantially vertical stanchions, wherein the panels are positioned to at least one side of, or above, the intended thoroughfare of the walkway, and are releasably retained within the framework, and wherein the releasably connecting parts of the framework engage one another.
  • the releasably connecting parts can be slotted together, and/or engaged, such that they connect to one another and are readily releasable by un-slotting, or disengaging them.
  • This provides a walkway that can be readily dismantled in a relatively short time-period, thereby requiring fewer people to erect and dismantle the assembly.
  • the framework and panels are reusable and once disassembled can be moved to a new location and reassembled.
  • the present invention provides very quickly assembled and disassembled protection for a thoroughfare that can be reused without compromising on structural safety and fire resistance.
  • Such an arrangement may take the form of a hoarding, protecting a pathway from a construction or maintenance site and adjacent thereto, providing an improved level of fire resistance and acoustic insulation.
  • the walkway may protect those passing within from falling debris and/or tools and equipment and reduce the level of dirt and dust that would otherwise be present.
  • at least some of the panels are held in place between at least one securing member on one side and a backing member on the opposite side. By clamping the panels, the structural strength and fire resistance is not compromised and the panels can be retained without being damaged.
  • the securing member and backing member are connected via a releasable holding member and the securing member and the backing member clamp the panel securely in place.
  • the panel By clamping the panel between the backing member and the securing member, the panel can be held securely in place without damaging the panel itself.
  • the releasable holding member is a threaded member.
  • the securing member and backing member can be held together using a threaded member, for example, a bolt.
  • the threaded member can pass between adjacent panels, thereby not damaging them.
  • the securing member and backing member may be connected by a retaining pin, allowing the assembly to be readily taken apart and simultaneously, providing a securing clamping of the panels.
  • the backing member is a stanchion of the framework.
  • the framework further comprises a plurality of cross-members arranged substantially perpendicular to the stanchions.
  • the cross-members provide structural strength and rigidity to the walkway and allow for further parts to be connected to the framework.
  • the walkway comprises at least one substantially vertical side, constituting a first wall, and at least one roof panel. Such an arrangement may be placed alongside, and may be attached to, an existing wall to reduce cost and time in assembling the overall walkway.
  • the roof panels may provide a platform upon which person may stand and undertake work.
  • a bottom rail is positioned substantially perpendicularly to the stanchions and adjacent to the intended lower end of the stanchions, and wherein the bottom rail comprises a lip and the panels are held in place between the lip of the bottom rail and the stanchion.
  • the lip retains the panels in place and reduces the risk of them becoming dislodged from the framework.
  • the lip also reduces the number of parts required to attach the panels to the framework.
  • the panels comprise a material such that they are fire resistant for at least two hours and, preferably, wherein the panels comprise fire resistant board.
  • the framework By providing the framework with panels that are fire resistant for at least two hours increases the safety of the users of the walkway and allows for more rigorous regulations for fire safety on installations. The likelihood of a person surviving a fire where the panels can resist fire for more than two hours is increased where such an installation is used. Additionally, it may reduce the insurance costs required for the site surrounding the walkway.
  • BS 476 part 22 and BS EN 1364-1 are regulations relating to fire safety that it is intended the present invention meets.
  • a water-based dust control system may be provided to reduce the level of particles in the air. This reduces the risk of health problems, such as an asthma attack, due to the particles and also reduces the likelihood of the site operator having to compensate those adversely affected by the dust and/or particles.
  • FIG. 2 is an exploded view of a hoarding according to the present invention. Detailed Description of Exemplary Embodiments
  • the bottom rail 18a and top rail 18c are provided with lip portions extending towards one another and positioned on the edge of the rail closest to the intended inside of the tunnel, that is, away from the stanchions 16.
  • the lip portions effectively creating a channel in which the panels 14 can rest.
  • the height of the lip of the bottom rail 18a is 4mm or less.
  • the distance between the top rail 18c and the bottom rail 18a is 5mm larger than the height of the panel 14 to be located therein.
  • a 5mm gap is introduced between the top rail 18c and the panel 14. It may be desirable to use this gap, constituting a conduit, to run a cable, thereby providing electricity or other facilities.
  • FIG. 2 shows a hoarding 50 comprising a framework 52 and panels 54.
  • the framework 50 comprises a plurality of stanchions 56 having a foot portion 58, a mid-rail 60 and a top rail 62.
  • a base rail 59 is provided adjacent the lower end of the stanchions 56 which connects the adjacent stanchions 56.
  • the mid rail 60 and top rail 62 connects the stanchions 56 at a mid-point and at the top respectively, providing structural strength and rigidity to the framework 52.
  • reinforcing members 64 are located by a first end at a position substantially half-way up each stanchion 56. The reinforcing members 64 extend away from the hoarding with the other end being connected to anchor rails 66 spaced from, and substantially parallel to, the bottom rail 59.
  • An adjustable vertical post 68 is positioned on the top of each stanchion 56, which allows for the hoarding 50 to be extended vertically and allows for the application of further panels 54a.
  • the joining strips 74 of the hoarding shown in Figure 2 can equally be used in the tunnel system of Figure 1 for retaining the panels on the framework.
  • Both the walkway and the hoarding constitute a modular system that can be extended by the addition of further modules according to the user's requirements.
  • Other joining mechanisms may be employed, such as sprung push button mechanisms wherein a pin or hook portion is displaced upon being pressed. Such mechanisms can allow for the parts of the framework to be readily assembled and unassembled.
  • the panels may be provided with acoustic separation, insulation and/or protection in order to reduce the noise from the surrounding site. This may be particularly advantageous where the walkway leads to a retail outlet.
  • the walkway may be provided with heat insulation or heating apparatus for use in cold environments. Additionally, doors may be applied to at least part of the assembly to reduce air flow through the walkway and/or to shelter the users.
  • the walkway may be a tunnel spanning from 2400mm to 6000mm and may be weather proofed and fire rated. So as to meet the aforementioned test
  • the tunnel may be fire resistant for at least one hour and may be fire resistant for over four hours.
  • reinforcing members 64 appear as flat bars in Figure 2, it is envisaged that they may be tubular, rather than flat. Other parts may be tubular, solid or flat depending upon the application and the structural rigidity required, as well as the required shape of the structure.
  • the cross-members, or upper roof beams are of a pre-determined length or selection of lengths.
  • the cross-members may be preformed to 560mm, 700mm, 1260mm and 1400mm and the span of the roof section comprises one of those lengths or a combination of cross-members having one or more of those lengths.
  • preformed lengths it becomes easier to attach the side and roof panels in place.
  • lengths of a pre-defined span it becomes much simpler to fit a wall in place and/or to securely and safely seal off a section.
  • the span is a predetermined length, where the shape or direction needs to be change, one can readily close one part and open another without significantly weakening the system because the location of the uprights is known.
  • This system is preferable over using a single length of cross-member because the position of the uprights can be varied and adjusted according to the requirements of a particular location. Additionally, it reduces the need to cut parts to the correct length when on-site, thereby reducing workload and risk for those involved.
  • the horizontal rails (18) may also be formed from predetermined lengths to allow for variations on the structure in a similar manner to those associated with the cross-members.
  • the uprights may be formed of predetermined lengths and the rails and/or cross-members able to be attached at an angle between uprights, which may be by way of a pivoting attachment mechanism.
  • This allows the system to be used on uneven ground, such as stairs, where the stanchions may need to be of different heights and so the rails between the stanchions, which would normally be substantially horizontal, may be attached at an angle away from horizontal between the stanchions. It may be desirable to close one end of the walkway so as to create section with three closed sides and one side with access, thereby essentially creating a room from the walkway structure.
