AdaptaPanel WorkThru Edge Protection New Features SafeSmart’s AdaptaPanel WorkThru gives crews a way to access the workface through edge protection when fixed panels would restrict installation. The system is designed for applications such as curtain wall façade installation, voids, risers, corners and other areas where work needs to continue directly behind the slab edge. Work through the edge protection Traditional fixed mesh panels can create a barrier between workers and the area requiring installation. Removing sections of edge protection can also create additional site controls and installation steps. AdaptaPanel WorkThru allows the mesh to be removed where workers need to pass through the panel. The system provides a defined access point while maintaining the surrounding edge protection arrangement. Panels are available in 1.0 m, 1.5 m and 2.0 m lengths to suit different site layouts. A compact footprint Space is often limited around slab edges. AdaptaPanel WorkThru can be positioned a minimum of 100 mm from the edge of the slab and has a footprint of 180 mm. This compact layout leaves more room behind the panel for façade installation and other work at the edge. It also avoids bulky posts extending into the work area. For construction teams, that means less interference when installing cladding, curtain wall systems or working around voids and risers. Adjust around corners and obstacles Site conditions do not always follow a straight line. Corners, penetrations, voids and changing work fronts can require the edge protection to adjust as the work progresses. The optional slider can extend up to 1 m to work around obstacles and different site conditions. Panels can overlap by up to 300 mm, with a locking pin connecting the main frame and sliding section. The locking system helps secure the adjustment and minimise the risk of dropped objects. The post can then be reinstated when the work area changes.

Data Centre Edge Protection & Proscaf Bridge Solutions SafeSmart supported this Sydney data centre project from the early stages, working with the client to develop access and edge protection systems as construction progressed. The broader package included Non-Drill Edge Protection rails, bolt-down guardrails, AdaptaPanel WorkThru and Proscaf scaffolding. One of the site’s major access requirements was a Proscaf 10 kPa bridge connecting separate work areas. Access across a busy data centre site Data centre construction involves several work areas operating at once. Internal roads connect the buildings, but they also need to remain available for vehicles and deliveries. More than 400 workers needed to enter the site each day. Their movement crossed internal roads used by site traffic, creating a need for a defined personnel route that could work alongside the wider construction activity. The bridge requirement was more than a temporary walkway. It needed to match the daily flow of the site, separate personnel from internal traffic and protect the area below the crossing point. A purpose-built Proscaf bridge Scaffold was selected as the practical construction method. SafeSmart supplied the engineering and Proscaf scaffold package, with Erect Safe Scaffolding acting as the Proscaf delivery partner responsible for building and installing the bridge on site. The completed package included 10 kPa overhead protection. This provided protection below the bridge while giving workers a dedicated route between site entry points and their workface. The bridge was planned around the way the site operated. Its purpose was to connect work areas without requiring personnel to cross the internal roads at ground level. Access for façade installation AdaptaPanel WorkThru was used where workers needed to access through the edge protection panel to install cladding and curtain wall glazing. The system provided a practical route through the edge protection for façade teams working across the project. Clip-on mesh allowed workers to walk through the panel in a compliant way.

SmartBridge & SmartStairs: Elevated Temporary Bridge System SafeSmart SmartBridge is designed for major construction sites where temporary access needs to keep pace with the programme. Large projects often require temporary bridges between work areas, over internal roads or across active construction zones. The access system needs to support site movement without creating additional installation delays. Engineering before installation SmartBridge planning starts with SafeSmart’s in-house engineering team. Site-specific layouts and Issued for Construction (IFC) drawings help project teams understand the proposed access arrangement before installation begins. This supports clearer coordination between the bridge, surrounding structures and the wider construction methodology. Early design also helps reduce site errors and installation bottlenecks. The bridge is planned around the project rather than assembled as a generic temporary structure. Pre-assembled for site delivery SmartBridge uses modular steel boxes that are pre-assembled off-site under controlled conditions. More of the preparation is completed before the equipment reaches site. This reduces the amount of assembly required in a live construction area and limits the disruption associated with building temporary access from loose scaffold components. Pre-assembly can also reduce reliance on hired access equipment, helping project teams avoid delays caused by equipment availability and extended hire periods. Crane-liftable access spans SmartBridge spans are crane-liftable, allowing the bridge to be positioned as part of a planned installation sequence. For suitable site conditions and an approved methodology, up to 22 m of SmartBridge can be installed in a single day. This gives project teams a faster way to establish access between work areas while keeping the installation process controlled. SmartBridge can also integrate with SmartStairs to create a continuous access route between different levels. The system supports projects that need both a bridge and stair access as part of the same temporary works plan. Protection for the work below SmartBridge modules are rated to 2.5 kPa and can include roof protection and full mesh encapsulation. These features help protect the area below the bridge and contain the
