Safety is paramount in paving projects. Troy Kaiser outlines five essential guidelines to ensure a successful, incident-free project: barricading the work area from public traffic, having a comprehensive safety plan, ensuring workers wear proper PPE, maintaining functional backup alarms on equipment, and using only qualified personnel for operations. Implementing these practices enhances on-site safety and efficiency, protecting both workers and the public.
During construction, damage to the standing seam metal roof system from fire suppression pipe supports was identified. Replacing the steel band hangers with new attachment hangers was recommended to accommodate panel movement. This change ensures structural integrity and compliance with the long-term performance warranty.
