Safely Overcome Rooftop Obstacles with Kee Step for Grocery Store


Drennan Refrigeration is a leading industrial refrigeration contractor in Canada, specializing in the design, construction, and service of refrigeration systems across a wide range of industries. One of their recent projects involved installing HVAC systems on the roof of a new grocery store in Ontario.

The Challenge

The project required extensive HVAC equipment, including freezers and air conditioning systems, which demanded safe and efficient access. They need a reliable solution for accessing all the units on the roof for regular inspections and maintenance.

The solution had to be flexible, easy to install, and non-penetrating to prevent any potential damage to the roof. Additionally, it needed to meet stringent safety standards to obtain the necessary permits for the project.

The Solution

To address these challenges, they selected Kee Safety’s Kee Step rooftop crossover platform as the ideal solution. Kee Step’s modular, non-penetrative design provided safe access to all areas of the roof without the need for welding or cranes. It could be easily assembled on-site, reducing both installation time and costs while maintaining roof integrity.

  • Permit Approval: The platform was critical in helping them obtain the necessary construction permits from the city, as it ensured safe access to the roof.
  • Non-invasive Installation: Since Kee Step did not require roof penetration, it preserved the integrity of the roof and eliminated the need for heavy equipment like cranes during installation.
