GENERAL

Rapid-Edge Protection Services (EPS) has been designed for quickinstallation of edge protection to buildings under construction.

The Rapid Post system does way with the need to drill the concrete slaband bolt post anchors in position.

Installation time is cut dramatically, as is the removal when finished.

All bolt-on components of the Rapid Post are manufactured in steel withzinc plate and clear passivate finish. (12 micron thickness to BS EN12329:2000).

Rapid Posts can be fixed in place in seconds.

Rapid Post will fit between Slabs from 2000mm to 3400mm, Rapid PostExtra will fit between Slabs from 2900mm to 4300mm.

Rapid Panels are 2900mm long x 1065mm high with a 200mm continuoustoe board at the bottom edge.

Rapid Panels are fixed to posts with Rapid Latch and are designed tosecure Panels to Rapid posts quickly and easily.

Removal of Rapid Panels and Rapid Posts is the reverse of installation.

Rapid Posts should be fitted at MAXIMUM centers of 2700mm.

Where Panels fit to a corner, always use 2 posts for each panel.

Maximum allowable unsupported overhang from post to panel edge is400mm.

TRACEABILITY

Most Rapid-EPS products are marked up with a serial number forinspection and traceability.
