Linee Vita per Tetti Verdi

Green roofs provide added value to residential and commercial buildings, improving energy efficiency, stormwater management, and air quality, but they require fall protection systems specifically designed for soft and uneven surfaces. Spider Lifelines designs integrated solutions that adapt to the vegetation layer, ensuring safe access for maintenance, irrigation, and inspections without damaging the substrate. With over 10 years of experience and hundreds of projects completed, we offer:

  • Rigid and flexible lifelines integrated into drainage channels
  • Ledge or ballast anchors on protective plates to avoid perforating the membrane
  • Modular walkways in compact materials for stable pathways
  • Certified maintenance and recertification programs

Rely on a single point of contact for inspection, CAD design, installation, and ongoing support: protect your green roof in full compliance with regulations (D.Lgs.81/08, UNI EN 795, UNI 11578).

Main Risks on Green Roofs
Falls from height

Uneven surfaces and hidden slopes can cause loss of balance.

Slips

Wet soil and moss make the surface slippery.

Trip Hazards

Exposed roots and drainage systems create obstacles.

Substrate load

Variable weight of the green roof soil affects anchor load capacity.

UV and weather degradation

Sun exposure and frost can weaken materials and fixings.

Operational procedures

Lack of training on proper use of PPE in green roof environments.

FAQ

Only on walkways and along lifelines: the soil is not load-bearing for safety.

We use ballast and protective plates to prevent perforation or compaction.

Semi-annual or annual inspections with load tests and checks for any movement.
