roof anchor design, installation, testing and certification

Roof Anchors are a vital part of a fall protection system. Roof anchor are used to connect lanyards, lifelines, and other forms of tie-off which prevent a worker from falling, Anchors are usually installed on the roof, but can also be installed on doors and windows. 

Roof anchors can be as simple as a D-ring connection or as complex as a complete lifeline system. 

i3 Building Science and Consulting designs, tests and installs both permanent and temporary roof anchors for:
​
  • Wood frame apartment buildings (with flat or slopped roof), with torch-on or asphalt shingles roofs. Yes, it is possible to install roof anchors to wood framed roofs with asphalt shingles, or flat roofs with a variety of roof materials. 
  • Concrete buildings and high-rises.
  • Metal structures.
  • Warehouses and industrial applications.
  • Temporary fall protection anchors for roofing or maintenance projects (temporary “no-penetration” ridge anchors for maintenance or painting projects).

We manufacture and install the anchors with our own forces, in house. We test every single anchor. Our systems and installations come with five year (upgradeable to 10 years) warranty for roof penetrations, and full annual reviews and inspections and certifications for the first four years, with a flat pre-determined fee for any subsequent year.

​Any new system comes with roof plan drawings, log book, user instructions, warranties.

We have been designing, installing, testing and certifying roof anchors for Greater Vancouver buildings for 20 years.
