Pedestrian protection tunnel

Protective roof as a pedestrian protection system for construction sites

Discover the pedestrian protection tunnel system made of wood and steel for construction sites – the innovative solution for protecting pedestrians from potentially dangerous situations. Ensuring the safety of passersby and pedestrians is particularly crucial when working at heights or on multiple levels.

Protective roofs as a mandatory safety measure for pedestrians

Protective canopies are essential safety devices near construction sites. They protect sidewalks, roads, and railway tracks from falling objects. On construction sites themselves, protective canopies serve to protect workers by spanning walkways and work areas when work is being carried out above them. In Germany, the German Social Accident Insurance Institution for the Construction Industry (BG BAU) sets legally binding regulations specifying where and in what form protective canopies must be erected. Invest in safety – protective canopies are key to protecting pedestrians and construction workers.

"If areas where there is a risk of falling objects, such as building entrances, scaffold stairs, machine operating stations, elevators, or vertically stacked work areas, cannot be cordoned off, protective roofs or nets must be provided. This also applies to work at vertically stacked work areas that are carried out simultaneously or where the danger zone cannot be demarcated (e.g., to protect public traffic or pedestrians)."

Advantages of the pedestrian protection tunnel system

The pedestrian protection tunnel offers reliable protection against falling objects, whether from scaffolding, roofs, or other construction site structures. Its robust construction and easy installation make it the ideal addition to construction projects of all kinds.

The most important advantages at a glance:

1. Safety first: The pedestrian protection tunnel was developed to protect pedestrians from potentially dangerous situations. Whether from falling tools or building components – with our tunnel, pedestrians are safe and protected.

2. Adaptability: Thanks to its flexible design (height-adjustable, also with curved elements for turns), the tunnel easily adapts to different construction site requirements.

3. Easy installation: Installing the tunnel is relatively simple. This not only increases safety but also improves the efficiency of the construction project.

4. Robust construction: Made from high-quality materials, the pedestrian protection tunnel guarantees durability and resistance to the challenges of the construction site.

The height-adjustable pedestrian protection system with integrated pedestrian protection roof consists of three standard elements: a straight element (approx. 2.5 m long, 365 kg) and one corner element (330 kg) each for the right and left sides. A matching access ramp is also available.
