If you’ve watched any of the Olympic events at the Whistler Sliding Centre then you’ve already caught a glimpse of Kee Klamp railing in action. The sliding courses are lined with hundreds of linear feet of pedestrian guardrail to keep people off the course. The usage of the railings at such a prominent venue features their durability, flexibility and overall quality.  If you are looking for a pedestrian guardrail or fall protection railing consider taking a look at our Kee Klamp Guard Railing Solutions.

Have you ever noticed that when you take up a particular interest that you tend to see that interest wherever you go.  Well, the fact that I sell Kee Klamp pipe fittings makes me really alert to Kee Klamp structures wherever I go.  Recently our family took a picnic to Braddock Bay State Park outside of Rochester, NY.  When we were there we checked out the hawk lookout stand and the long dock that goes out into the marsh.  I was happy to see that the dock going out into the marsh was thoroughly railed with a Kee Klamp railing.

This project is a great example of how railings made with Kee Klamp fittings stand up to a moisture rich environment.  This rail has clearly been in place for a number of years and still looks fantastic.  Find out more about our railing and handrails.

When Cheri Wilson with the Eugene, Oregon Water Board needed to update the railing around their Walterville facility, she turned to Simplified Building Concepts to help design an easy to maintain welded rail replacement.  Cheri is very pleased with the railing results.  See the results for yourself:

Modular metal railings constructed with Kee Klamp fittings have withstood the test of time and elements.  One of the most prominent Kee Klamp railing installation is located on the America side of Niagara Falls.  Here is what Mike Mumua, President of Kee Safety, Inc. says about this project:

This railing has been in place over 50 years on the USA side of Niagara Falls. This is a very harsh environment and as you can see it was not powder coated or had any additional corrosion protection. The photo clearly shows how good the product still looks. The US Park Service likes the modular capabilities of Kee Klamp and used it extensively at this park location. There is Kee railing along the Cave of the Winds & Bridal Veil falls that often gets damaged by ice. The Kee Klamp modular system allows for easy & quick repair to ensure the Park Service does a good job of protecting the tourism public.

The warehouse environment is full of hazards.  One of the many hazards that plant managers need to be aware of is protecting walking workers from workers operating material handling equipment such as pickers and forklifts.

A recent customer utilized our Kwik Kit Safety Rail product to provide a safe right of way to pedestrians walking near utility vehicles in the warehouse.

Here is the scenario BEFORE the Kwik Kit Safety Rail was installed:
No physical barrier to protect the worker.  Only a visual barrier of cones was present to designate the walkway.

Here is the scenario AFTER the Kwik Kit Safety Railing was installed:
Workers clearly separated from hazards.  Workers are clearly aware of when they were leaving the “safe zone” via the self closing safety gate.

Kwik Kits provided a solution that was:

• Durable – able to withstand impacts and protect workers in the walkway.
• Easy to use – Uprights come preassembled and powder coated safety yellow.
• Modular – Can fit a wide variety of configurations.
• Safe – The ultimate priority when considering a product.  Does it protect the worker from the hazard?  Kwik Kit does the job!

At Simplified Building Concepts, we try to go the extra mile to help you understand how our railing products work.  Frequently, we receive quotes for complex railing jobs where the only document supplied is a 2D landscape or architectural layout.  When you order a railing system from us we can supply a 3D drawing, complete with fitting labels.  These drawings will help you communicate to your contractors exactly what needs to go where. 

Here are some samples from a recent job.  Our CSP, Sam Wender, completed the 3D drawings from the 2D layout below.

Here’s a sample of the drawings that were supplied:

Here are some of the 3D drawings that Sam produced.

Great job Sam!

Sometimes we have the privilege of visiting the facilities that have utilized some of our our safety products.  Below are some pictures of a safety rail on a ramp and a safety gate.

Ramp Safety Rail

The handrail here is used to protect the side of the ramp.  This rail has a unique feature: the top of the rail bends ninety degrees to protect people from the corner of the loading dock.  This rail reflects some of the unique configurations that can be built using Kee Klamp fittings.

Safety Gate

This safety gate was used to protect the entrance to an open elevator shaft.  There used to be a “fence” the slid up and down to protect the area.  The gate has spring loaded hinges so it will close automatically (not leaving it to the worker to create a safe environment).
