Aluminium and Fibre Reinforced Polyester (FRP) Roof Walkway Systems

We offer two roof walkway systems – Aluminium and Fibre Reinforced Polyester (FRP) walkways. Both systems are compliant with Australian height safety standards, including AS 1657:2018.

Our Pace 600 aluminium walkway systems provide a robust and reliable option for roof access. They are particularly suited to pitched or sloping rooftops, as the walking surface can be levelled and cleats added to maintain certification according to Australian standards.

Features:

- Mill finished, mesh grating walking surface, ensuring maximum grip in slippery conditions.

- Easy integration with guardrail systems for improved safety and system certification

- Prefabricated modular system for simple, rapid installation

- Non-corrosive, with specialized mounting options to prevent galvanic reaction between metals.

SAS Projects' rooftop walkways, catwalk systems, and elevated walkways offer a wide range of advantages for contractors and maintenance technicians working on elevated surfaces:

Safety: Our systems provide workers with a safe and sturdy route, ensuring a non-slip surface in all weather conditions and eliminating trip hazards.

Roof Protection: Our walkways help protect roof sheets and membranes from damage in high-traffic areas, significantly reducing maintenance costs.

Compliance: All our walkway systems meet and exceed Australian standards, including AS 1657:2018, ensuring your site complies with safety regulations.

Fibre Reinforced Polyester (FRP) Walkway Systems

Our Ontrak FRP walkway systems offer a lightweight alternative to traditional aluminium walkways. With reduced rooftop penetrations, these systems help minimize potential leaks and damage to the roof surface.

Features:

- Reduced number of penetrations for better roof protection.

- Easy integration with guardrail systems for improved safety and system certification.

- Non-corrosive, non-metallic, and non-conductive, preventing galvanic reaction between the walkway system and the roof deck.

- Non-corrosive, with specialized mounting options to prevent galvanic reaction between metals.

What are the Roof Walkway Safety Standards in Australia?

At SAS Projects, we ensure that every height safety system we design and install meets and exceeds all relevant height safety standards. The Australian standards for walkways are laid out in AS1657:2018, which outlines the minimal requirements and exact measurements that a walkway system must comply with.

How much does it cost to have a roof walkway system installed?

The cost of our roof walkway systems depends on several factors, including the type of system (aluminium or FRP), the location of your building or work site, existing access, and the complexity of the installation process. Pricing also varies depending on whether the walkways are part of a total roof safety system, including guardrails, anchor points, or access ladders.
