About this asset

This Revit family provides a 1m Ridgerail roof safety railing system, designed for fall protection on industrial or commercial roofs. The Ridgerail 1m system is a modular fall protection assembly consisting of a horizontal steel rail supported by two vertical mounting brackets. The brackets feature a distinctive cut-out profile with integrated circular apertures for weight reduction and structural fixing. The design prioritises durability and ease of installation on pitched or flat roof surfaces. Its geometric form is purely functional, with a robust steel construction finished in a high-visibility red coating. This component is engineered to maintain site safety standards while providing a reliable anchor point for maintenance personnel working at height.

The download is a 1.2 MB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

In Revit, this family is typically placed as a face-based component, allowing it to be hosted directly onto roof elements or structural sub-frames. Users can array the 1m modules to create continuous safety runs across the roof perimeter or near hazardous edges. The model supports clear visualisation in 3D views and can be scheduled for material takeoff calculations, ensuring accurate site planning and compliance documentation throughout the design and construction phases of a project.

This safety system is essential for architects and engineers working on commercial, industrial, or large-scale residential projects where roof access is required for maintenance. It integrates seamlessly into site plans and roof construction details, serving as a critical safety feature for facility management. Professionals searching for 'fall protection systems', 'roof edge protection', or 'building safety components' will find this model useful for demonstrating regulatory compliance and safety protocols during the technical design stages of development.
