11.10 VoidSafe® Protection System
VoidSafe® Protection System is a product that has been developed by SMD for use with metal decking and edge trim.
VoidSafe® is a moulded non-slip composite Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) floor grating system, it is designed, supplied and installed by SMD along with the metal deck operations.
The installation of VoidSafe® eliminates the requirement for void handrail protection systems and temporary void protection during construction, providing a final void riser protection product which minimises floor obstructions during the process.
Material specification
