Kattsafe

Sayfa is now Kattsafe

We’ve built a name for ourselves by continuously innovating safer, simpler height access and fall protection systems, and now it’s time for our business to evolve too.

Bringing everything we do under one new name makes it even simpler to work with us and use our products. And behind it all, we’re still the same team, quality products, and customer service that you’ve come to expect.

Solar farm, Tamworth NSW

Located west of Tamworth in regional New South Wales the solar farm will provide enough energy to supply the needs of over 48,000 homes. Following extensive assessment, this site was selected due to various factors including suitability of terrain, site access, environmental constraints and solar resource.

The situation

Located west of Tamworth in regional New South Wales the solar farm will provide enough energy to supply the needs of over 48,000 homes. Following extensive assessment, this site was selected due to various factors including suitability of terrain, site access, environmental constraints and solar resource.

The requirement was to provide a safe and suitable working surface for maintenance operations. Systems to be installed also needed to meet stringent criteria including engineering and compliance to Australian Standards.

Solution

Kattsafe was contacted by the contractors with details of their requirements.

Due to shortage of equipment, skilled trades and the remoteness of the location pre-assembled systems were identified as the preferred option, as well as the ability to be easily unloaded and installed by hand.

Conceptual design drawings were produced using the Builda configuratorThis enabled the installer and client to visualise the initial Kattsafe platform and stair system build.

Detailed and more extensive drawings were then formatted by our in-house design and engineering teams, collaborating to ensure the end result would be structurally sound and fit for purpose.

These drawings were then sent to the Production Department for fabrication. To assist with a quick install, many of the components were pre-assembled into easily manageable modules and then transported directly to site.

As Kattsafe platforms and stairs are manufactured in lightweight aluminium, on arrival at site unloading was able to be carried out by hand without the need for heavy lifting equipment or cranes.

Using the patented T-bolt technology and basic battery powered hand tools assembly took a fraction of the time if traditional steel welded systems had been chosen.

Throughout the project, assistance was provided by our technical team to make sure the install was carried out smoothly and as per regulatory guidelines.

Kattsafe platform and stair systems comply to AS 1657 and AS/NZS 1170 which provided the necessary adherence to Australian Standards required for this installation.

The result - a very fast and effective install and a very happy client.
