Concrete Frame Edge Protection

Edge Protection Systems for Concrete Frame Construction

Temporary edge protection for slab edges, floor openings, stairs, lift areas, and other exposed edges during reinforced concrete construction.

APAC combines barriers, posts, and different fixing attachments into complete systems that can follow the changing stages of concrete frame construction.

  • Multiple fixing methods for different concrete structures
  • System configurations for repetitive floor cycles
  • Components designed for installation, relocation and reuse
  • Meet the standard BS EN 13374
Real System Configurations

Edge Protection Systems Developed Around Real Project Needs

Concrete projects do not always require the same fixing method.

The slab condition, installation sequence and reuse plan can all affect how the edge protection system should be configured.

Below are several examples of systems APAC has developed around customer requirements.

1.8m height safedge bolt down edge protection system

Bolt Down Edge Protection System

This system is designed typically anchored into the concrete slab edge. Double height provide more safe areas.

Slab Grab Edge Protection

Slab Grab Edge Protection System

This system is capable of being used both horizontally and vertically, like a slab edge or upstanding wall.

Edge Bracket Edge Protection System

The Edge Bracket is the fixing attachment mounted to the slab edge by the concrete screw bolts.

More Information

More Control Before Products Reach Site

APAC helps you review, test and verify key project details before shipment, giving your team clearer information, better quality consistency and fewer surprises when the products arrive on site.

h20 beam edge protection system-3d model
compression post edge protection system-3d model

APAC can turn product and project requirements into clear 3D models so you can understand how the system fits together before production begins.

This helps you review connections, identify possible conflicts earlier and communicate the proposed solution more clearly with your engineering, procurement and site teams.

edge protection barrier test

APAC carry out in-house testing on selected configurations to review loading behaviour, connections and overall system performance before large-scale production or project delivery.

This gives you additional technical evidence when reviewing a new configuration and helps potential design or connection issues surface earlier.

APAC applies quality checks throughout production to help keep dimensions, connections, welding, surface finish and overall product consistency under control.

For project orders and repeat supply, this helps reduce unexpected differences between batches and gives you clearer quality records before shipment.

Applications

One Concrete Frame Can Have Several Edge Conditions

A concrete frame project changes as construction progresses.

The same project may require several attachment methods while continuing to use the same barrier and post system.

Concrete Walls & Parapets

Clamp- or base-mounted protection for concrete walls, parapets, and other raised concrete edges.

OEM & Private Label

Adapt the System to Your Product Range

For brands, distributors and rental companies, the required system may not always match a standard catalogue configuration.

APAC can support adjustments based on the intended market, existing inventory and commercial requirements.

Dimensions & Configuration

Adjust selected dimensions, fixing ranges or component combinations where technically suitable.

Surface & Colour

Options can include different coating or galvanizing requirements depending on the product.

Branding

Private-label options may include:

  • Product labels
  • Logo plates
  • Colour identification
  • Packaging marks
  • Instruction labels

Packaging

Packaging can be planned around warehouse handling, rental operations and container loading requirements.

Manufacturing Process

Control the System From Drawing to Shipment

An edge protection system only works well when its barriers, posts and attachments fit together consistently.

APAC controls key dimensions, connection points and production details throughout manufacturing, helping reduce fitting problems during installation, replacement and repeated use.

01

Requirement Review

Review drawings, dimensions, application and required configuration.

02

Sample or Drawing Confirmation

Confirm key dimensions and connection details before repeat production.

03

Raw Material Check

Verify material specifications before fabrication.

04

Cutting & Forming

Control component dimensions during cutting, bending and forming.

05

Welding

Check weld position, consistency and assembly dimensions.

06

Dimensional Inspection

Confirm key connection points and fitting dimensions.

07

Surface Treatment

Apply the specified finish and check the finished components.

08

Trial Assembly

Assemble relevant system components together to check fit and connection.

09

Quantity & Packaging Check

Confirm component quantities before packing.

10

Shipment Preparation

Review packing marks, loading arrangement and shipment documents.

Packaging & Delivery

Packaging That Makes Delivery and Site Handling Easier

Good packaging is not only about protecting the products during transport.

For edge protection systems, it should also help with counting, unloading, storage and installation after the shipment arrives.

Complete System Packing

Barriers, posts, attachments and accessories are checked together before shipment to reduce the risk of missing components.

Steel Stillages for Easier Handling

Barriers and other large components can be packed in reusable steel stillages, making forklift handling, storage and site movement easier.

Clear Component Identification

Labels, packing marks and component separation help customers identify different products and quantities after arrival.

Business Application

Different Buyers Use the Same System in Different Ways

Edge Protection Brands

For companies building or expanding their own edge protection product range.

APAC can support OEM, private label, component development and system compatibility work.

Specialist Distributors & Agents

For companies supplying temporary safety equipment to contractors.

A modular system can help cover more fixing conditions without carrying a completely separate product range for each application.

Rental & Hire Operators

For rental fleets where durability, component control, quick relocation and replacement parts are important.

Concrete Frame Contractors

For contractors that need temporary protection to follow slab, formwork, and stair construction through different stages of a project.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which fixing method should I use for a concrete slab?

It depends on the slab condition, available fixing point, construction stage and whether drilling or permanent fixing is allowed.

Socket bases, slab clamps and other temporary fixing methods may all be suitable in different situations.

Can one barrier and post be used with different attachments?

In many modular system configurations, the same barrier and post can be combined with different attachment types.

Compatibility should be confirmed before ordering.

Can you help us choose the system from drawings?

Yes.

You can send structural drawings, site photos, fixing details or your current edge protection layout for review.

Can APAC work with our existing barriers or posts?

In some projects, new attachments or components can be developed around existing equipment.

Dimensions and connection details need to be checked first.

Do you provide installation documents?

Installation guides, drawings and other technical information can be supplied depending on the product and project.
