🗂️ PROJECT ARCHIVE: 2019 Seven years ago, our Rapid Posts and Rapid Panels went up around Australia 108 in Southbank, Melbourne - supplied via distributor Rapid Height Safety, supporting the team through construction of one of the tallest residential towers in the Southern Hemisphere. Working at height on a live high-rise build comes with its own challenges: extreme heights, tight logistics, and zero room for error when it comes to fall prevention. Our products were there throughout, helping keep the site compliant and the crews working safely floor after floor. Great to look back on projects like this one, and to know a bit of Rapid-EPS helped shape the safety story behind such a striking skyline. 🏙️ #Australia108 #Melbourne #ResidentialTower #Skyscraper #ConstructionSafety #HighRiseConstruction #SiteSafety #ConstructionNews #EdgeProtection #RapidPost #FallPrevention #WorkingAtHeight #HeightSafety

Fitting edge protection to lattice girder planks used to mean compromise. Not anymore. 🛠️ Our Lattice Girder Plank Post was engineered specifically to seat directly onto lattice girder planks and slabs — giving you a fully compliant edge protection system without adapting or compromising the design. Mild steel, hot-dip galvanised, and built for repeat use on precast projects. Installation is simple: ✅ Fit the hook under the rebar and twist to lock in place ✅ Clip a Rapid Panel and repeat for continuous protection 👇 For further information, you can read about the product via the link below: https://lnkd.in/eAb2xUuG #LatticeGirderPlankPost #EdgeProtection #RapidEPS #RapidPanel #FallPrevention #PrecastConstruction #LatticeGirder #ConcreteConstruction #ConstructionSafety #WorkingAtHeight #HeightSafety

Respirable crystalline silica is one of the most serious long-term health risks on a construction site. Drill-and-fix edge protection is a routine source of it. ⚠️ Every drilled fixing into a concrete slab releases fine silica dust into the air. HSE guidance links repeated exposure, even at low levels, to silicosis and long-term lung disease. COSHH assessments are increasingly treating this as a real control priority, not a box-ticking exercise. 🫁 The simplest fix is removing the drilling altogether. The Rapid Post is a genuinely tool-free, compression-fit system. No drilling. No dust. No COSHH headache. ✅ Edge protection should protect people from more than just falls.

Known locally as "The Vase," One Blackfriars on London's South Bank is one of the capital's most distinctive high-rise landmarks. 🏙️ It was also a genuinely tricky edge protection brief. At 50 storeys and around 166 metres, the curved façade meant slab edges rarely followed a straight line. Rapid Posts and Double Height Rapid Panels were configured to follow the varying angles, keeping a continuous guard line around every curve. 🔧 Add in significant wind loading at height and a tight riverside site with limited lay-down space, and the brief came down to one thing: a system that could adapt fast, without slowing the build down. ⚡ Supplied via Ischebeck Titan. A good example of what edge protection needs to do on a complex high-rise build. 📲 Contact us today to find out more: https://lnkd.in/eqDtYchq #OneBlackfriars #TheVase #SouthBank #London #LondonSkyline #LondonConstruction #HighRise #Skyscraper #EdgeProtection #RapidPost #RapidPanel #FallPrevention #ConstructionSafety #HeightSafety #WorkingAtHeight Ischebeck Titan Ltd

⚽ PROJECT ARCHIVE: 2020 With the World Cup in full swing right now, feels like the right moment for a throwback: back in 2020, over 3km of our edge protection was installed at Al Rayyan Stadium in Qatar, supporting contractor L&T/Al Balagh JV through construction of a venue built to host up to 40,000 fans for the 2022 World Cup. The system combined our Rapid Lite Panel, Rapid Post, and Dual Purpose Stand - a great example of the Rapid Lite Panel doing its job at scale: lightweight, quick to install, and built to keep crews safe across huge runs of stadium edge, without slowing down a tight construction programme. Great timing to look back on projects like this one, with the football world watching another World Cup unfold, and to know a bit of Rapid-EPS helped shape the safety story behind one four years ago. ⚽ 👇For more information on the Rapid Panel, see the link below: https://lnkd.in/eNpEQaZ5 #AlRayyanStadium #Qatar #WorldCup #WorldCup2022 #StadiumConstruction #RapidLitePanel #ConstructionProducts #RapidEPS #EdgeProtection #FallPrevention #WorkingAtHeight #ConstructionSafety #WorldCup2026

Getting in and out of an excavation safely shouldn't be an afterthought. Our 7-Bend TrenchGuard system combines edge protection with a genuinely safe access point, a telescopic clamp (0–220mm range) secures the guardrail directly to the trench sheet, while a self-closing safety gate and collapsible platform allow workers to enter and exit the excavation without compromising on protection. Conforms to BS EN13374:2025 Class A & B, OSHA 1926.502, and other global standards, built for sites that can't afford to cut corners on safety. Take a look at how it works 👇 For more information, you can view all of our products here: https://lnkd.in/etv6nfhp #EdgeProtection #TrenchGuard #ExcavationSafety #ConstructionSafety #WorkAtHeight #FallPrevention #CivilEngineering #SiteSafety

🚧 47,000 new construction workers needed every year just to keep up with demand. 📉 493,000 more needed by 2035 across the industry's most critical roles. The UK construction skills shortage isn't a future problem. It's already reshaping how sites operate today, and it's changing how edge protection needs to be specified. When teams are smaller and less experienced, every process on site needs to be faster and simpler. Including the systems used to protect leading edges. We've written about what this means in practice, from rising labour costs to the safety risks of relying on multi-step, specialist installation methods, and why compression post systems are becoming the practical choice for sites under pressure. 👇 Read the full article below.
