Sidewalk Overhead Protection Scaffolding Systems

Overhead Pedestrian Protection is not just for safety, it is required in Chicago. When you are performing any work above a sidewalk or pedestrian walkway, overhead protection needs to be installed to protect pedestrians from falling debris. Overhead pedestrian protection is a modular scaffolding system that provides a safety cover above walkways and pedestrian areas, so they are protected from harmful construction projects being performed above. This pedestrian canopy also keeps pedestrians protected from dust exposure as well.

Masonry and wood construction can create harmful dust particles in the air, so the sidewalk overhead canopy helps block the dust from reaching pedestrians below. Another benefit of these sidewalk canopies is it helps reduce the construction site sounds and noise.

Tools and general construction creates noise that can be damaging to pedestrians, so having a properly installed sidewalk overhead protection canopy reduces these construction sounds and distractions for people walking by.
