Custom CRA Fall Protection Engineering Packages:

Super Anchor offers 2 types of engineering services for our CRA anchors:

1. Project Specific Comprehensive Engineering Package. A full custom engineered package stamped by a P.E. for your project.
2. Design Analysis of Project utilizing Existing SAS Engineering Documents. A structural design analysis for your project based on information previously provided to DHG by SAS as a basis for design.

Project Specific Comprehensive Engineering Package:

There are instances when the pre-engineered Commercial Roof Anchors are not quite enough for the project, specification, architect, owner or engineer. That is why Super Anchor Safety works closely with the engineering firm DH Glabe & Associates to provide fall protection engineering, design and inspection services for our CRA Fall Protection Anchors. DH Glabe & Associates are a premier fall protection consulting engineering firm that provides comprehensive fall protection designs that can be customized to fit your specific project needs. All applicable standards including OSHA, Cal-OSHA, ANSI, IWCA, ASME and ASSE referenced to provide practical and safe solutions for your project’s individual needs. DH Glabes engineering expertise coupled with our diverse line of CRA anchorage devices gives you a complete fall protection package.

Additionally, as a Qualified Designer and Professional Engineering Firm, DH Glabe & Associates utilizes structural analysis capabilities to provide fall protection designs that are safe, compliant, and cost effective. Fall Protection testing and certification of the fall protection anchors for industrial and building façade access is also available. DH Glabe can offer State Specific P.E. stamped drawings for all 50 states and Canadian Provinces.
