Combisafe delivers safety solution at City Labs development

At the flagship redevelopment of Manchester Royal Eye Hospital into the Citylabs biomedical centre of excellence, COMBISAFE combined its POWER POST and double height Steel Mesh Barriers to create a unique floor to soffit safety system that would deliver full height containment.

Suitable for heights between 2.7 and 4.2 metres, the COMBISAFE POWER POST fixes between concrete floors and soffits without anchors to provide safe and rapid installation of edge protection. Its unique compression unit applies a force of up to 7.0 kN, providing EN 13374 compliant performance and easy fitting and adjustment even with double height Steel Mesh Barriers in place.
