Safety Railing Installation

Clip Summary

Ironworker Jimmy Canka secures the rooftop deck's safety railing to its footings. The individual sections of the simple picket-style iron railing are put in place on-site and then welded together. Canka uses an arc welder to fuse the sections together. Bob points out how the fence is secured to the roof employing three separate building trades: the roofers, ironworkers, and masons. Behind the railing is a parapet wall topped with bluestone (to prevent moisture from seeping into the masonry work).
