PBS on a private house

Sector: Residential construction

Location: Sassuolo (MO)

Date: May 2014

Products: PBS and STR/STC single anchor points

CUSTOMER NEEDS:

• Built in early 80s, the villa roof presented some common issues for old houses:

i. A large amount of dormers and a particular roof shape increased the risk of pendulum effect;

ii. The whole roof was not waterproof, therefore it was compulsory to avoid fixing methods that could cause any water infiltration.

• Need for a low visibility of the lifeline

OUR SOLUTION: Single anchor points and waterproof PBS posts

• Sicurpal solved the risk of pendulum effect installing several STC single anchor points under the shingles on gables and STR in the corner hips.
• Thanks to the slim design of its devices, PBS line is the best post-based solution to minimise the visual impact of the lifeline.
• To avoid water infiltration problems, Sicurpal spread a tar paper ply between pole and structure and installed a small lead gutter on every device after completion of the lifeline.
