POWER SHIELD
Off-Site Pre-build of Edge Protection System
EFCO POWER SHIELD® edge protection system was designed with off-site pre-build and transportation into highly congested city locations in mind. Standard units with walkways are delivered can be offloaded and installed on the structure faster than competitive systems.
Ready to Install
Fold out to Two Times Width
EFCO’s pre-built POWER SHIELD edge protection system comes complete and ready to install, minimizing costly lane closures and increasing productivity. EFCO POWER SHIELD folds out to a maximum of two times the provided width, including the closed-end panels.
EFCO POWER SHIELD
Edge Protection System – Faster Than Competing Systems
This system minimizes the impact on crane resources by installing faster than any competing products. The lightweight system averages 11psf for a standard unit with walkways.
Adaptable
Configure to Suit Any Project
EFCO POWER SHIELD®, the leading edge fall protection system combines a series of modular components that configure to suit any project. Mast segments bolt end to end to accommodate any structure height desired with deck locations adjustable to 3” increments vertically.
Multiple Uses
Single & Double Plane, Double-wide and Material Lookout
Arrange the system in a single plane (no work decks), dual plane, double-wide (extended work deck), and material lookout configurations. The screen extends 1.5 to 2.5 stories above the supporting anchor.
POWER SHIELD Edge Protection System
Works With all EFCO equipment
Use EFCO POWER SHIELD edge protection system components to supplement other EFCO products, such as overhanging platforms on self-climbing systems, thru-slab shear wall support frames, and light-duty hydraulic lifting frames.
Cost Savings
Edge Protection System with Re-usable Skins
The entire EFCO POWER SHIELD® edge protection system is leasable. The contractor is responsible for all wood decking and lost anchors. While many systems require the user to purchase the screen material, the EFCO system provides a series of reconfigurable screens to accommodate any structure.
Wind, Water & Debris Protection & Safety
Skins are Leasable, Translucent and Durable
Leasable skins can also be added to provide a waterproof barrier to limit wind infiltration and provide further debris protection. The leasable, translucent, and durable skin solution is available with all connections accessible from inside the system, allowing for seasonal reconfiguration as desired.
Other Materials Utilized for Signage
Hydraulic Cycling Package Available
Multiple other materials may be utilized for critical areas or used as signage. Anchor costs are similarly limited to a lost anchor bolt with a retrievable coupling cone connected to the shoe. A hydraulic cycling package is also available for this system.
EFCO POWER SHIELD
Complete Edge Protection System Package
The EFCO POWER SHIELD®’s edge protection system design includes an integrated stair system for accessing multiple floors of the structure under construction. These cantilevered lookout components can be delivered flat and opened to provide a 13’ extension past the building’s slab edge.
Support System
Hydraulic Lifting and Cycling Accessories
The system includes hydraulic lifting components, cycling accessories, and a toolless latching mechanism for the shoe head. A cycle of the system is secured at 3” vertical centers, providing improved alignment versus competing systems. The support system, designed with a detachable head section for the shoe, can be adapted for wall or extended cantilever situations.
HOW DOES POWER SHIELD® IMPROVE CYCLING EFFICIENCY?
EFCO POWER SHIELD® edge protection system was designed with off-site pre-build and transportation into highly congested city locations in mind. Standard units with walkways are delivered can be offloaded and installed on the structure faster than competitive systems.
IS POWER SHIELD® READY FOR INSTALLATION ONCE IT IS REMOVED FROM THE TRUCK?
Yes. EFCO’s pre-built POWER SHIELD edge protection system comes complete and ready to install, minimizing costly lane closures and increasing productivity. EFCO POWER SHIELD folds out to a maximum of two times the provided width, including the closed-end panels. This system minimizes the impact on crane resources by installing faster than any competing products. The lightweight system averages 11psf for a standard unit with walkways.
CAN YOU USE A CANTILEVER DECK OR LOOKOUT PLATFORM WITH THE EFCO POWER SHIELD® EDGE PROTECTION SYSTEM?
The EFCO POWER SHIELD® edge protection system has standard components to place any number of cantilever “lookout” platforms around the building perimeter. Lookout platforms can save time and money by providing easy crane access to equipment at each floor level. Platforms can also be used in construction with access scaffolding to provide additional access/egress to the top floors.
WHAT ARE THE SHEETING OPTIONS WITH EFCO POWER SHIELD®?
POWER SHIELD® screen panels provide a 1” x 1” square opening mesh for debris and fall protection and air infiltration. The modular screen panels include a series of attachment points that attach various facing materials. A lightweight, UV-resistant, translucent skin is available for lease to cover the structure as desired for enhanced debris protection or environmental control. The modular screen panels may also be re-arranged to face outwards, allowing attachment of signage if desired.
IS EFCO POWER SHIELD® LEASABLE?
Yes. The entire EFCO POWER SHIELD® edge protection system is leasable. The contractor is responsible for all wood decking and lost anchors.
