Solution

This was a challenging job as the roof structure was copper with a lightweight cement filled steel tray deck. The team installed the SafetyLink system using a toggle bolt anchor plate system. This project involved one man travelling on a gantry crane with a tarp spread over it to collect the debris, ensuring none would fall onto the plant below. This was a well organised process with constant communication via radio with the Meridian staff to ensure correct crane positioning prior to drilling.
