HYDRAULIC WINDSHIELD SYSTEM HWS
The main scopes of a windshield system are:
Prevent people or objects from falling down from the edge of the slab.
Protection against wind, which enables to continue working even in adverse weather conditions.
Provides a platform for the works to be done at the edge of the slab.
Eliminates visual height effect for the people working in the building.
The windshield structure is based on the MK system (standard length walers with continuous hole configuration and
simple standard connections) providing great versatility when configuring different types of structures: structures
adapted to the required height level, different sections according to the jobsite needs, possibility to include different
types of working platforms, etc.
Each windshield set is made up with 2 vertical walers known as
MAST
, to whom the protection screen is directly or
indirectly fixed, and can also include WORKING or LANDING platforms.
