SAFETYWORKS & SOLUTIONS SCALES THE HEIGHTS AT STEPHENSON HOUSE
 Maintenance
personnel accessing the rooftop of Stephenson House in Bletchley,
Milton Keynes can do so with the assurance that Safetyworks and
Solutions have installed a safety at height system that has been
tailored specifically for the building.
Vacant for the past three years, the fifteen-storey high Stephenson
House has been brought back to life to offer a more sustainable and
secure living environment. The 30 year old building has been
refurbished to provide 110 one and two-bedroom apartments, a brand
new shopping mall, and around 6,620 square foot of retail space on
the ground floor. Now complete, Stephenson House once again stands
proud and has been re-born as a landmark in design with its
contemporary façade dominating Bletchley’s skyline.
Working in partnership with the architects, Safetyworks & Solutions
supplied and installed 200m of Flexideck walkway system which was
installed to the rigidal standing seam roof, thereby enabling
operatives to safely access the vents and rainwater valleys on this
particularly narrow section of the roof. The Flexideck system was
mounted to the top of the seams with specially adapted bearers that
will prevent the system lifting off in high winds.
Flexideck is manufactured from 99% recycled polyethylene, resulting
in a lightweight, easily cleaned, non-penetrative and rot free
system that can be designed and produced by Safetyworks and
Solutions to suit any profile. As testimony to its durability,
Flexideck also comes with a ‘peace of mind’ 25-year guarantee.
To compliment the Flexideck system, and provide fall arrest
protection, a Uniline overhead system was mounted to the steel
beams, with a further system installed to the main roof above via
Uniline force management anchors. To complete, a secure box was
installed on the landings to enable safe roof access via the
existing hatch.
“Stephenson House has been totally rejuvenated and now reflects a modern,
vibrant building. We installed a roof safety system that will prove
to be effective, cost efficient and easy to maintain for many years
to come”, said Marco Norman, Managing Director of Safetyworks &
Solutions.
