From Wimbledon to the Rowing World Championship, football tournaments, motorcycle and formula racing events, and culminating in the Paris Olympics and Paralympics, this summer is packed with major sports events. With large events come large crowds, making the maintenance of the infrastructures hosting these events—stadiums, arenas, airports, and train stations—crucial. Each maintenance task carries its own set of risks and requirements, and Fallprotec offers solutions to address them all.

Common Challenge: Roof Maintenance Fall Hazard 
Roof maintenance presents a significant fall hazard across various infrastructures, whether at airports, train stations, or arenas. The risks include tripping, sliding or falling through openings such as skylights. These roofs house systems such as air conditioning, insulation, and sunshades, making their upkeep essential for event success.

Stadiums and Arenas
Stadiums, designed to host large audiences, prioritize visitor safety, necessitating regular maintenance at height. This includes work on light poles, roofs, audio systems, and the stadium structure. Fallprotec’s SecuRope fixing assembly is tailored for fragile standing seam roofs, providing safety without damaging the structure. This lifeline was a favorite in the Qatar stadiums built for the 2021 Football World Cup.

Airports, Stations, and Stadiums
Airports, train stations, and stadiums are often featured in movies and live broadcasts, requiring impeccable yet inconspicuous maintenance systems. The SecuRail Pro is a discreet rail suitable for both horizontal and vertical fall arrest, making it ideal for high-traffic buildings. The SafeLadder, with its integrated SecuRail Pro, is a space-saving safety ladder that blends seamlessly into facades or interiors. The MastLadder, another discreet option, is perfect for stadium lightning masts, ensuring operator safety without being visible to the public.

Suspended Work Solutions
Access to facades or roof interiors sometimes requires suspended work. Fallprotec offers a range of products to suit various locations and suspension techniques. For visible ceilings, the SafeAccess C rail, embedded in the ceiling, is ideal for both rope access specialists and suspended platforms, providing versatility and discretion. For more occasional tasks, the Securail Pro supports rope access technicians effectively.

Facade Access Systems
In many cases, the RopeClimber, a person-lifting hoist, is a practical solution for accessing building facades. It is discreet, lightweight, and non-permanent, suitable for even the narrowest and most challenging areas. With an integrated battery, it sets up quickly without extra cables and can be easily folded and stored after use.
