Custom Edge Protection Systems

Custom edge protection systems, such as roof safety rails, guardrails and handrails, create a secure perimeter around work areas at height. These systems are tailored to the specific needs of each project, from design specifications to precise fit.

For example, commercial edge protection jobs might require additional horizontal or vertical span, which cannot be provided by existing roof safety systems or edge protection systems in the marketplace — while residential edge protection may call for more flexible and discreet systems for specific rafter designs or construction methods. Industrial sites typically need heavy-duty systems capable of withstanding harsh environments, such as remote mine sites, coastal plants or port facilities. Regardless of project type, we collaborate closely with you to understand the nuances of your project so we can implement commercial edge protection and residential edge protection that is not only compliant but also optimised for efficiency and safety.

The process of purchasing a custom edge protection system involves several steps to ensure you get a solution that perfectly fits your needs. The total time from the first consultation to delivery of the custom system can be as little as three weeks depending on the project.

1. Consultation – We begin with a detailed discussion to understand your project requirements and goals.
2. Feasibility assessment – Our team evaluates whether a custom system is the best solution for your needs.
3. Cost estimation – We provide a quote for developing your system, considering existing components when possible to save time and money. 
4. Prototyping (if needed) – For unique requirements, we develop prototypes of any custom parts or brackets.
5. Engineering and certification – The system undergoes rigorous testing and receives certification from a qualified engineer.
6. Production and delivery – Once approved, we manufacture the system and deliver it to you, complete with comprehensive documentation and training.

Temporary roof edge protection systems are priced in lineal metres. Rates for dry hire and purchase vary based on the location, type of system, duration of hire and quantity. All our systems are priced to be cost effective for our customers and deliver bottom line returns on their projects. One the the best efficiencies temporary edge protection systems provide is use as an alternative to (or in conjunction with) ground-up scaffolding.

Custom edge protection systems can be customised in several ways to meet specific project needs across Australia. EWRG has developed systems in urban and remote locations for mining sites, workforce camps, airports, defence force bases, sugar mills, salt works, apartment buildings, warehouses, office buildings, train stations and residential townhouses.

By designing roof safety systems to match the exact specifications of each project, we eliminate gaps and weak points that could compromise safety. Custom solutions also integrate smoothly with existing site infrastructure and safety protocols, reducing the risk of conflicts or interference that could cause accidents or delays.

While designed for easy installation and removal, making them ideal for temporary projects, edge protection systems are also durable enough for long-term use. They provide ongoing safety for maintenance and other extended tasks on structural steel beams.
