Roof Anchor Points - Installing Anchor Points on Your Roof

Anchor Point is known for its strong underground electrical cables. With the advent of electronic equipment, underground electrical cables have become vulnerable to vandalism, theft and damage due to flooding, fire and other natural disasters. In order to ensure that your property is protected from such threats, an underground electrical cable identification system is imperative. An ID tag system not only allows you to detect potential threats at the early stage but also provides you with a convenient and efficient way to maintain your underground electrical systems.

Anchor Point Installation: The installation of an anti-fall arrest line can help make it easy and simple for users to verify that the system has been approved and fitted for its intended purpose. Specifically, ID tags can be tailored for your specific site requirements. Generally, it is a legal requirement that single point and anchor points for the purpose of electrical fall protection, be inspected and certified at least once annually; however, it is more practical to install two-point anchors and fall arrest lines for optimum protection. Moreover, a fall arrest system helps reduce the number of incidents of electrical shock in and around your home or business premises. All said and done, an underground electrical cable identification system (also known as an IEL/IELT) will ensure that your property remains safe and secure.

Window Cleaning: Improper installation of the window cleaning system can result in moisture seepage into the structure of your building. Not only does this result in mold growth and structural damage, it also poses health hazards to inhabitants. As such proper Anchorage is very important in window cleaning at Anchor Point.

By way of example, an IEL system with a cable of four hundred feet was installed around the home at Anchor Point by a professional company. The installation included the installation of a thirty-foot extension to the existing anchor points. After the extension, the professional company also installed a sump pump and a sump pit for additional protection. The entire process took approximately two and one-half hours. This example shows why proper Anchorage is so important for Anchor Point window cleaning.

Window Cleaning Rope Access: It is imperative that a properly anchored system be installed in order to prevent the possibility of the rope accessing the window cleaning system. This is especially important to maintain the window size and shape. Additionally, to further improve window security, an attached sump pump and sump pit are recommended. Before any window cleaning system is installed, an Anchorage system should be evaluated and implemented. This method can prevent any issues regarding rope access.

When the engineer is evaluating Anchorage for a new Anchor Point, he should take note of existing problems with anchor points. There are many contributing factors such as previous failures, ground conditions, and weather conditions. Once the anchor points have been evaluated, an engineer should discuss the best options with his client. In most cases, an engineer will recommend a six foot by twelve foot hole with a weight of fifty pounds per square foot. Most often, the engineer will add additional anchors depending upon the circumstances.

As part of the Anchor Point installation, a thick enough, reinforced concrete foundation should be poured on the land. Once the foundation is set, the engineer should place the rope access platforms on top of it. Then, the engineer should select the ideal height for each platform. Most often this will be determined by local building codes. After the rope platforms are set up, the engineer should move them around periodically to improve window height safety.

Roof anchor points are commonly used in residential, commercial and industrial buildings. These anchor points allow for easy installation and maintenance. When using concrete or stone foundations, engineers will most likely use steel ties or large anchors. For tiled roofs, most commonly used materials include aluminum, copper and stone.
