Duct Area Safety Nets: Don't Ignore This Dangerous Gap

Duct areas in apartments are major fall hazards for maintenance staff and pets. Secure these open shafts with high-strength safety nets.

Between the blocks of apartment complexes in high-density cities like Hyderabad and Bangalore, there are often large open gaps known as 'ducts' or 'OTS' (Open To Sky) areas. These are necessary for ventilation but pose significant risks.

The Risks

  1. Maintenance Accidents: Plumbers and electricians often need to access pipes in these shafts. A slip can be fatal.
  2. Waste Accumulation: Residents often throw trash into ducts, creating hygiene issues and potential fire hazards.
  3. Bird Entry: These sheltered shafts are favorite nesting spots for pigeons.

Our Duct Netting Solution

We install high-strength horizontal safety nets at various levels of the duct shaft (e.g., every 2-3 floors).

  • Fall Arrest: Can catch a falling person or heavy tool, saving lives.
  • Debris Collection: Catches thrown garbage so it can be cleaned easily without reaching the ground floor.
  • Bird Blockade: Prevents birds from descending into the lower levels of the building.

Service in All Major Cities

Whether it's an old apartment block in Visakhapatnam or a new high-rise in Vijayawada, Satya Safety Nets has the expertise to rappel down these shafts and install secure netting systems. Safety is our priority.
