Ensuring safety while maintaining efficiency, Pedestrian Bridges from SafeSmart are engineered to the highest standards, complying with AS/NZS 1657:2018 regulations. The availability of continuous guardrails and specific flooring options contributes to their safe and user-friendly design, ideal for high-profile projects and areas with significant foot traffic.

Usage Scenarios

• Schools and Hospitals: Provide easy access during construction or events, ensuring minimal disruption to the public.
• Public Events: Quickly deploy bridges that offer safe passage over cables, ducts, or small trenches.
• Infrastructural Developments: Use in temporary scenarios such as train station renovations or on-site construction where the landscape may undergo frequent changes.

Ideal Site Scenario

Where busy construction sites are undergoing development simultaneously, pedestrian risks arise. Workers and the public need safe, reliable pathways to navigate the site without hindering progress or compromising safety. Here’s how SafeSmart’s Pedestrian Bridges can transform a site:

1. Identifying Obstacles
   In this urban construction site, various obstacles, such as open trenches, uneven terrain, and temporary gaps, need to be navigated safely by both workers and pedestrians.
2. Custom Design
   SafeSmart Access assesses the specific requirements of the site and designs pedestrian bridges tailored to the unique challenges. Using Proscaf scaffolding, the bridges are customized to span over the obstacles, providing secure and stable passageways.
3. Installation
   The pedestrian bridges, made from marine-grade aluminium or steel, are installed efficiently. Continuous guardrails and anti-slip stair treads ensure maximum safety, while the weather-proof design guarantees durability in all conditions.
4. Daily Operations
   With the bridges in place, workers can move quickly and safely across the site, significantly enhancing productivity. The public also benefits from clear, safe paths, minimizing disruptions and maintaining smooth foot traffic.
5. Adaptability
   As the construction site evolves, the pedestrian bridges can be easily repositioned or modified to accommodate new obstacles, ensuring ongoing safety and efficiency.

SafeSmart’s Pedestrian Bridges are a testimony to the company’s innovative approach to customised access solutions. The blend of functional design with safety considerations makes these bridges ideal for a vast array of applications where temporary or permanent pedestrian access is required.
