Safety & Efficiency: Provides secure footpaths across solar farms or industrial rooftop systems—ideal for technician maintenance in Nairobi commercial zones or remote field installations.
Non-Conductive & Non-Slip: Eliminates shock and slip hazards even under water or dust.
Lightweight & Quick Deployment: At just 14 kg/m, panels can be handled without heavy equipment—significant in high-rise or low-elevation builds.
Durable & Low-Maintenance: Designed for minimal upkeep and 25+ years of operational life, even under Kenyan sun, wind, and rain.
Regulatory Compliance: Meets global safety standards and can be certified under Kenyan building codes, supporting investment and insurance.
Site Survey & Planning
Identify walkway routes, supporting rail structure, and load-bearing points. Mwanga engineers perform structural reviews and produce layout designs.
Support Rail Installation
Install rails at 2.0–2.5 m centers using solar module racking systems—non-penetrative rails when needed.
Panel Placement
Place 2.85 m sections sequentially; use expansion joints to allow thermal movement.
Fastening & Securing
Use stainless steel fixings and torque per guidelines; add adhesive pads at rails to reduce vibration.
Load Validation
Walk through under load to test stiffness; record deflection to verify <15 mm threshold.
Final Commissioning
Perform cleaning, finish edge trimming, inspect seals, and document the installation.
Maintenance Checks
Re-assess anchor points, replace any cracked panels, and clean annually or post-rainfall.
| Site Type | Application & Benefit |
|---|---|
| Commercial Solar Array | Enables solar OEM maintenance via safe walkway access |
| Hospital Rooftop | Permits HVAC & PV module cleaning without hazard |
| Industrial Warehouses | Supports access over machinery roofs for inspections |
| Government Complexes | Meets public safety standards in schools, ministries, and camps |
| Oil & Gas Terminals | Provides anti-slip platform for inspections on rooftop equipment |
Can it handle heavy foot traffic?
Yes—rated for ≥800 kg point loads and designed for frequent access by maintenance teams.
Is it safe under dusty or wet conditions?
Yes—the 5 mm anti-slip surface ensures grip even when wet or dusty. It's also non-conductive.
Does it degrade under UV or heat?
No—UV tests show <10% tensile loss after +2,000 hours of exposure. FRP resists expansion and degradation in tropical climates.
How is roof integrity maintained?
The system avoids penetrating roof membranes, using clamps or adhesives, preserving insulation and waterproofing.
What’s the lifespan and warranty?
The walkway is built to last over 25 years; Mwanga Solutions offers a standard 10-year warranty on materials under standard use.
Local Stock & Engineering Support
No import wait time. Engineers handle layout design, structural approvals, and load verifications.
Certified Installation
Technicians trained in rooftop safety, PV mounting standards, and Kenyan codes.
Nationwide Coverage
Installation available in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, and other major centers.
Turnkey Service Packages
Combined with solar panel cleaning systems or anchor line safety kits.
Flexible Payment Terms
Accepts M‑Pesa, bank transfer, LPOs, and phased mobilization for institutional projects.
Post-Installation Support
Annual maintenance, replacement of panels, and joint repairs included under contract.
