Safety Fabrications are proud to have supplied the Ascent™ Aluminium Roof Walkway to provide safe access across the roof of the new Everton Stadium.
Located at Bramley-Moore Dock, Liverpool, this prestigious stadium will become the home football ground for Everton ahead of the 2025-26 season.
The new stadium will serve as the centrepiece of a new mixed-use development in the community, which will include shops, houses, a gym, and other venues.
It opened as England’s eighth largest venue.
The roof incorporates photovoltaic solar arrays to provide on-site energy generation for the stadium.
The ability to safely access and maintain these installations was pivotal.
As part of the planned maintenance strategy, the Ascent™ Aluminium Roof Walkway was specified to create a level, free-draining, anti-slip walkway surface for maintenance personnel.
The walkway was provided levelled to the falls of the roof where it traverses the roof slope.
Where the walkway Ascends / descends the roof-slope it is stepped throughout its length.
The walkway is affixed to the roof sheet using proprietary standing seam clamps.
The arrangement allows the walkway to be affixed to the building without the need for large-scale penetrations and subsequent weather proofing.
The Ascent™ Aluminium Roof Walkway was installed by approved installer company Eurosafe Contracting Ltd in accordance with the provided comprehensive install guidelines.
The walkway is designed and tested in accordance with EN 516;2006 and BS EN 14122- 2 &3 :2016 and manufactured at our Sheffield premises to CE / UKCA standards in accordance with BS EN 1090 manufacturing procedures.
