Nijmegen – Gommers Dakwerken has made a smart choice for a large roofing project of approximately 7,500 m² around a student house. Instead of the traditional scaffolding solution, the company has opted for an innovative fall protection system from Roof Safety Systems.
Scaffolding
“Scaffolding was our first thought, but the size of this project made it an impractical and costly solution,” says René Gommers, director of Gommers Dakwerken. “With 860 meters of scaffolding, we were not only looking at high costs but also an increased risk of burglary. Through the internet, we came across Roof Safety Systems, and that turned out to be the perfect solution.”
Why Roof Safety Systems?
Gommers Dakwerken received a free demonstration of the system and was immediately convinced. “The trial installation of 12 meters worked perfectly, and our employees were enthusiastic,” says Gommers. “It was easy to install, but above all, safe. That gave us the confidence to choose this system.”
Cost Savings of 30%
After a thorough cost analysis, it became clear that the investment in the fall protection system from Roof Safety Systems would quickly pay off. “We saved over 30% compared to a traditional scaffolding solution. That’s a significant amount,” says Gommers. “Moreover, the 60 meters of edge protection we purchased can also be used for future projects.”
