Harcon - Kee Line Installation for a Multi-Unit Commercial Roofing Project - Case Study

The Brief

The contractor approached Harcon’s Technical Sales Engineer during the tender stage of a multi-unit roofing project to provide pricing and technical input for the required roof lifeline systems.

Design drawings were issued to Harcon, and the brief was to develop a compliant, cost-effective fall protection solution that could be seamlessly integrated into the wider roofing package. The system needed to provide continuous attachment, full roof coverage, and long-term durability across multiple roof areas.

Early engagement was critical, as the fall protection design needed to align with the tender programme and support a smooth transition into the construction phase once the project was secured.

The Solution

Harcon’s Technical Sales Engineer reviewed the issued drawings and produced a mock Kee Line lifeline design tailored to the roof layouts across the development. This design demonstrated how a horizontal lifeline system could be installed to allow safe and efficient movement across all relevant roof areas.

Alongside the mock design, Harcon provided a detailed quotation clearly outlining the scope of works, compliance standards, and installation methodology. This early design support allowed the contractor to submit their tender with confidence, knowing that the fall protection element had been fully considered and accurately costed.

Once the works package was secured, an order was issued to Harcon and the project was scheduled in line with the wider construction programme. Harcon coordinated closely with the contractor to ensure installation dates aligned with roofing works, helping to maintain programme efficiency.

The solution involved the installation of Kee Line horizontal lifeline systems, selected for their flexibility, durability, and ability to provide continuous attachment across a wide range of roof types. The system ensures users can move freely and efficiently while remaining securely connected at all times.

The Outcome

Harcon successfully installed the Kee Line systems across the multi-unit development, delivering a fully compliant and long-term fall protection solution. Thanks to the early design input and clear communication from tender stage onwards, installation progressed smoothly and without delay.

The completed system now provides safe, reliable access for future inspection and maintenance activities while meeting all relevant industry standards.
