Product catalog summary

Introduction

The Ascent S safety screen system by RMD Kwikform is designed to enhance construction site safety by creating a sealed protective envelope around building faces. It aims to accelerate construction cycles and reduce labor costs, supported by over 60 years of industry experience and global branch support.

Features and Benefits

  • Safety: Prevents debris falls and provides perimeter edge protection.
  • Wind Protection: Shields against high winds, minimizing downtime.
  • Handling: Can be lifted in high winds; includes a winch system for crane-less sites.
  • Efficiency: Pre-assembled modules transported in sets of four reduce on-site assembly time and space needs.
  • Versatility: Adjustable mast heights and telescopic cladding adapt to various building heights and shapes, including corners and curves.
  • Cost Reduction: Standardized equipment eliminates bespoke timber details, lowering labor costs.

System Options

  • Plastic Cladding: Tensioned reinforced plastic sheeting, 25-30% transparent, with options for higher light transmission.
  • Steel Cladding: Trapezoidal profile steel sheeting offering puncture resistance and telescopic extension.
  • Timber Cladding: Timber beams and plywood sheets as a low-cost material option, requiring more labor and site space.

Masts and Latch System

  • Masts constructed from ultra-high yield steel for strength and ease of handling.
  • Extendable in 1.05m modules with full-strength connections.
  • Spring-loaded, brightly colored latch ensures secure engagement and easy visual inspection.
  • Optional Electronic Latch Engagement Verification (ELEV) system available.
  • Latch can be locked retracted for equipment lowering or removal.

Mounting Brackets

  • Slab Bracket: Attaches mast to slab edge with integral clamping angle for rotational restraint; weighs 23kg.
  • Wall Bracket: Attaches mast to columns, cores, or walls; weighs 13kg.
  • Both feature removable mast guides and are designed for easy manual handling and quick fixing.

Screen Cladding System

  • Modules adjustable in width from 3.0m to 5.25m to accommodate wind loads and site geometry.
  • Mast spacing adjustable from 2.5m down to 1.285m in 62.5mm increments.

Debris Seals and Junctions

  • Rotating debris skirts provide slab edge sealing.
  • Soft compressible PVC seals eliminate gaps between modules with up to 40mm tolerance.
  • Velcro-secured flaps seal horizontal joints; rubber flaps seal mast gaps.
  • System accommodates curves and corners using standard equipment.

Slab Edge Platform

  • Adjustable platform beams fit screen module widths.
  • 1.22m wide platform compatible with standard plywood sheets.
  • Fully sealed to prevent debris escape.
  • Integral crane lifting points with adjustable positions for smooth handling.
  • Additional lower platforms available for access and material handling.

Material Platform

  • Enables materials to exit lower levels for crane hoisting.
  • Supports 50kN evenly distributed load.
  • Flexible positioning to suit floor heights.
  • Utilizes standard Superslim Soldier, Alform Beam, and Ultraguard Mesh Barrier equipment.

Slab Anchor Options

  • Includes anchor cones, screws, plates, and removal tools with specified weights.
  • Multiple fixing methods: through fixings, cast-in, post-drilled anchors.
  • Detailed component codes and weights provided for precise specification.

Screen and Cladding Components

  • Plastic sheeting options with various thicknesses and transparency levels, some printable.
  • Steel sheeting options with galvanised and perforated profiles.
  • Structural components including masts, latches, brackets, and zed frames with weights and codes.
