Kee Klamp Fittings: The Building Blocks For Safety
Kee Klamp has supplied fittings from its extensive range to create the impressive guardrailing structures at the new LEGOLAND Deutschland.
Many of the dwellings have balconies where the original balustrading was falling into disrepair and identified by the Council to be in need of wholesale replacement.
Working closely with Kee Klamp Ltd, the Council has designed and installed new guardrailing that is smart, secure and also robust enough to stand the test of time.
The Council's own contract teams have used numerous fitting types from the extensive Kee Klamp range on the project.
These fittings connect together the standard tubes which create the guardrailing structure and also hold in place a series of Trespa in-fill panels on every balcony to minimise the risk of tenants, young children or objects falling from high level.
Over 800m of balcony guardrailing has been assembled in this way on the project.
Part of a huge product range which allows complete versatility in structure design and direction, the Kee Klamp fittings incorporate an integral set screw.
This set screw is simply tightened to lock the fitting safely and securely onto its respective tube.
The result is a clean, secure and trouble-free installation which eliminates the need for time-consuming bending, welding or specialist skills, ensuring assembly time is kept down to an absolute minimum.
Kee Klamp fittings can be used to create everything from guardrailing and barrier protection, to retail display systems, playground climbing frames and much more.
As well as the established fittings range, Kee Klamp Ltd also provides tubular solutions for roof edge protection with its popular KeeGuard system, and for interior or exterior balustrading and handrailing applications with its Keenect and Keeline systems.
