Big Foot Systems

Pisani Building

Project Requirements

As part of the air conditioning contract, Pisani Ltd required an access platform to ensure the safety of engineers maintaining the air conditioning plant installed on the roof of the building. The client was keen to find a solution that provided a non-slip walkway surface around the edge of the roof and spread the load without penetrating the surface.

The Big Foot Systems technical team were contacted to design a complete walkway, 26m in length, complete with safety handrails and including three separate access points. The walkway also needed to span a sky light on the roof which had to remain unobstructed at the request of the client. After discussions with the contractor, Big Foot Systems were able to provide a walkway system that met every aspect of the design criteria within the budget submitted by the contractor.

The walkway was delivered direct to site in flat packed sections which allowed assembly to be completed by two engineers in under a day and a half. Prior to installation, a member of the Big Foot sales team visited the site to offer advice and support to the installers.

Mr Marriott of Melton Air Conditioning commented, “The Big Foot Walkway ticked all the right boxes, it is a great product. I can’t speak highly enough of the system, it gave us a solution to a real problem.
