HABITAT
Cooper B-Line GrateWalk
The benefits are twofold. First, you eliminate the risk of people tripping over exposed cables, pipes and other utility conduits. Second, you extend the life of your roof by providing a single, identifiable path for foot traffic to your roof-mounted equipment. The GrateWalk bridging stands on block supports of 100% post-consumer recycled rubber, which helps support LEED credit qualification.
The walkways are available in a variety of configurations, with straight sections, platforms, cross-over options, stairways to lead to or go over the top of existing equipment, and handrails. Sort of sounds like putting together a Hot Wheels racetrack, doesn't it? The company — founded as B-Line in 1956, and a division of Cooper Industries since 2000 — also offers accessories to support unique roof requirements.
So, to paraphrase yet another song, take a walk on the topside. Because now you can walk on the topside without actually walking on the topside.
