Introduction
Details:
Rev 002
RiserSafe® is a bespoke cast in safety system which creates and protects service riser
openings. Providing a safe working platform for following trades. A fixing point for both
fire and separating drywalls and heavy M&E services. This allows the construction site
team to look at the right strategy for their project and not be driven by the need to manage
the risk.
Having worked with Ambar Kelly previously at South Bristol Community Hospital project
with great success when Tidal Basin was being tendered we engaged Ambar Kelly to
review the possible benefits that could be achieved using the RiserSafe® option. The
following was identified and RiserSafe® is being employed on the project.

 Fixing the price for the riser zone.
 Unit used to provide weather tightness for riser zone.

Things to consider:
 Small risk fund set aside for repainting the RiserSafe® floor plate as they will
get dusty and scuffed during construction.
 Developing the M&E coordination as soon as possible to increase further
savings by early planning.
 Don’t look at RiserSafe® in isolation of a frame package as the product saves
money across the project.
Summary
RiserSafe® is an efficient way of taking away risk and unintended spend, the key to being
successful on individual schemes is looking at the holistic costs of a project and not just
the entry price.
