Overview: Built next to Helsinki's main

train station, KPMG's new headquarters

required Steel Mesh Barrier Edge

Protection and the Safety Net Fan to

protect workers, the public and trains.

Tasked with developing a bespoke solution

for the installation of Safety Net Fans as

drilling into the slab was not possible.

Combisafe developed a solution that

enabled all 28 Safety Net Fans to be lifted

into place using a tower crane and

installed in one day.

"As well as protecting pedestrians,

another reason for the safety measure

were the actual railway cars and the

presence of the high power lines. It was

vital that debris didn't fall on the trains,

dislodge the high power lines or

conduct electricity to the people at

ground level. Following a risk analysis,

the Safety Net Fans were lifted to higher

floors to coincide with the forming

activities and to have the netting as

high as possible to catch any debris."
