University of Colorado Boulder
Kindry Construction partnered with the University of Colorado Boulder to deliver a comprehensive rooftop safety & Fall Protection upgrade at the Engineering Center Building.
The project supported the university’s Roof Edge Protection (REP) program and focused on improving fall protection, rooftop access, and long-term safety performance across multiple roof areas within an active academic environment.
The Challenge
The Engineering Center presented a complex and expansive rooftop environment requiring significant safety improvements. The project encompassed thousands of linear feet of roof edge exposure across multiple elevations, existing infrastructure conflicts, and outdated safety systems that needed to be removed without disrupting daily campus operations.
Additional challenges included coordinating work within an occupied academic facility, maintaining strict safety compliance at all times, and preserving the integrity of existing roof membranes. The scale, elevation changes, and access limitations required a carefully phased and highly coordinated approach to ensure both worker safety and operational continuity.
The Solution
Kindry Construction delivered a phased rooftop safety upgrade designed to enhance protection while minimizing impact to facility operations.
The project included installation of ballasted and fixed guardrails, warning line systems, and new aluminum parapet ladders and staircases to improve rooftop access without compromising the roof membrane.
The team also removed outdated safety infrastructure, including horizontal lifeline systems, weather station components, stairs, and guardrails, while maintaining safe site access throughout construction. Kindry Construction provided full site supervision, safety management, and coordination with university procurement and facilities teams to ensure efficient execution.
The Result
The completed rooftop safety upgrade delivered a turnkey solution that significantly improved fall protection, access, and operational safety at the Engineering Center. The new system supports the University of Colorado Boulder’s REP standards while allowing ongoing maintenance activities to be performed safely and efficiently.
By combining thoughtful planning, proven safety systems, and proactive coordination, Kindry Construction delivered a durable, compliant, and future-ready rooftop safety solution that enhances protection and performance for years to come.
