Our durable, high-quality products can be used in many ways to help ensure safety and efficiency on the jobsite. Below are just a few product use cases.
Scenario: A construction company is in the final stages of erecting a multi-story office complex. However, with the onset of the rainy season, there's a risk of water damage to the interior work and increased hazards from slippery conditions.
Solution: Using Eagle's high-quality Durashield Tarp enclosures and Scaf-Lite Scaffold Sheeting, the construction company can create a watertight barrier around the affected areas of the construction site. These tarps are designed to withstand heavy rain and wind, ensuring that the interior remains dry. The tarps and scaffold sheeting can be fastened securely, preventing them from being blown away. This not only prevents potential water damage, reducing repair costs and delays, but also ensures that work can continue safely in less than ideal weather conditions.
Scenario: A civil engineer firm has been contracted to renovate an old suspension bridge. The project involves working at great heights, with both vehicular and pedestrian traffic moving below. There's an inherent risk of construction materials, tools, or debris accidentally falling, which could result in serious injuries or accidents below.
Solution: The engineering firm uses Eagle's robust durable Heavy-Duty Debris Netting to create a protective layer beneath the areas where the renovation is taking place. This netting is designed to catch and hold even heavy objects, ensuring the safety of the people and vehicles below. By using this safety netting, the firm can mitigate risks, ensuring the safety of both their workers and the general public, and also avoid potential lawsuits or project halts due to accidents.
Scenario: A construction company is renovating a historic building located in a bustling urban setting. Adjacent buildings house businesses that need to operate without disruption. There's a concern about construction dust and debris affecting neighboring establishments and passersby.
Solution: The construction company deploys Eagle's netting (Debris Netting and Heavy-Duty Debris Nets) and enclosures (Heavy-Duty Tarps) designed for debris and dust containment. By setting up these barriers, they ensure that neighboring businesses remain clean and free from any construction debris. This not only preserves the image and operations of the adjacent establishments but also ensures a safer working environment for construction professionals and for pedestrians walking by.
Scenario: A construction firm is developing a high-rise residential building in the heart of a metropolitan area. Workers are required to perform tasks at dizzying heights, from installing windows to fixing external facades. This risk of falls from such heights is a major concern, both for the safety of the workers and potential liabilities for the construction firm.
Solution: The construction firm turns to Eagle for their Personnel Safety Netting. This netting is installed beneath the areas where work is being done at height. It's designed to catch and safely arrest the fall of a worker, minimizing the potential for injury. Not only does this provide safety nets for workers, but it also instills confidence in them, knowing there's a system in place to protect them. This added security can enhance efficiency and morale on the jobsite.
Scenario: A construction firm is renovating a portion of a busy industrial refinery that spans acres. Work includes removing old components, installing new parts, and general maintenance. With continuous vehicular traffic and onsite staff outside of the exclusion zone, there's an imminent risk of tools, materials, or debris falling onto the roadway or outside of an exclusion zone, leading to accidents or disruptions.
Solution: The company deploys Eagle's Heavy-Duty Debris Netting and Drop Object Mats. The debris netting is set up beneath the work area for protection from falling debris and objects. The mats are easily moveable and deployable in high risk areas include scaffolding, pipe racks, elevated work platforms, metal grating, cat walks, and areas under routine maintenance and construction. Once the work is complete the mats can be folded up and moved to the next work area. The use of this netting and mat not only ensures the safety of refinery workers but also allows the construction crew to focus on their tasks without the constant fear of inadvertently causing harm or disruption below.
Scenario: In the heart of the city, a construction company is working on a new skyscraper project. The building is set amidst a bustling urban environment with both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. As the structure rises, workers are performing tasks that generate debris like pieces of concrete, metal clippings, and other construction waste. Due to the close proximity to busy streets and sidewalks, there's an elevated risk of this debris accidentally falling off the building's edge and posing a hazard to passersby and vehicles below.
Solution: To mitigate this risk, the construction company employs Eagle's Safety Debris Netting as a guardrail debris protection system. This netting, made of high-density polyethylene with UV inhibitors, is attached alongside the edges of the floors where active construction is taking place. The netting acts as a barrier, catching and containing any debris that's generated during the building process.
To further enhance the safety measures, the construction company also uses the same netting to create a scaffold enclosure around areas where exterior work, like facade installations, is taking place. This enclosure not only provides a secondary layer of protection against falling objects but also shields workers from external elements, like strong winds, which could otherwise make their tasks more challenging.
By utilizing Eagle Industries' safety debris netting in these dual capacities, the construction company ensures the safety of both their workers and the urban community surrounding the construction site. This not only minimizes potential hazards but also fosters good relations with the city's residents and boosts the reputation of the construction firm for prioritizing safety.
